Re: CAPA participant/Champion: What is the difference
Hello.
Typically the CAR champion is essentially the team leader, and is tasked with the overall execution of the CA or PA. The paticipant is a team member who contributes toward the solution, but who is not the primary person respoinsible for ensuring the the CAR is fuly closed out.
Neither of these should be confused with the process owner, who is the manager of the operation associated with the nonconformance/ root cause. This is often the person responsible for final approval of the implemented actions.
