This course provides an introduction to the requirements of systematic failure investigation (FI) and corrective and preventive action (CAPA) practices as described in ICH Q9 and made a regulatory requirement in Europe by Annex 20 of the Guide to GMP, and in the USA by the Federal Register/FDA Guidance for Industry.

The course is focused on company responsibilities within a quality risk management system, and several investigational tools are explored to help build up knowledge of techniques that might be used by a company to provide a structure for systematic investigation of failure.
