Can a CAPA be closed if the action that needs to be taken to correct the problem cannot be done until a new order comes in, which in this case may be months or a year away?
Thanks

<snip>We currently have over 175 CAPA's open at this time.
If the corrective action is job specific or product specific or customer specific, you should wait until you run the part number again, so you can assess the EFFECTIVENESS of the corrective action. Now, if the corrective action was related to a process that can be verified in a similar product, you should be able to "close" the corrective action request accordingly.Can a CAPA be closed if the action that needs to be taken to correct the problem cannot be done until a new order comes in, which in this case may be months or a year away?
Or - It's a relatively large company.<snip> That seems a bit extreme. Either your business is wildly out of control in one way or another or you're producing documentation unnecessarily, or it's some combination of the two. The problem isn't open CAs, it's too many CAs. That's the problem you need to solve.
