Hello Everyone
I am in the process of re-engineering our organization's CAPA system - basically re-working it from the ground up.
One of the overwhelming responses I have received from the other managers/auditors within our organization was their disdain for the old CAPA numbering system. The system involved using the month/date/year in combination with a prefix which would designate if the actions was a CA, PA and/or generated through internal audits.
An example CA from an internal audit would be assigned a control number that looked like this: CARIA021512.
A PA which came from a suggested improvement opporutnity would be assigned a control number that looked like this: PARIO021512.
The "customers" of our old CAPA process said they found this numbering system clunky, unintuitive, etc. etc. etc. and I have promised them that the re-engineered system would have a new numbering/indexing system.
Im looking for best practice, and was wondering if you good folks from The Cove would be willing to share your CAPA numbering/indexing practices.
Many Thanks!
