Greetings Everyone:

I work for a medical device manufacturer, My boss wants to intergrate the return material authorization & corrective and preventive action & Failure Analysis form into one form. I have always used the forms as standalone. I would appreciate any feedback the group can give.

Thank You

That is certainly possible. It would have to address the requirements of a CA/PA situation, and still contain the fields you need for RMA. It can even address CA's for internal audits, if you want.

A simple way to approach would be to lay the two side by side and look for the similarities. If that makes sense to you, then just begin to build it together.

When you are done, use the draft a few times to tweak and adjust it until you hav ewhat you need. It is also a good idea to add a few check boxes at the top to make it clear if you are using it as an RMA, a CA or a PA.

I am currently looking at combining the CAPA, Audit Nonconforming together. My last company had them all combined and when I cam on board this new company they have a different form for everything. Driving me crazy, lots of work to track & control because they also have seperate control systems for each one. I like your idea of including the RMA in as well. Thanks for the idea. I will do that to.:thanx: I would appreciate any examples other folks have as well.

To help you out here go to top of this page, left side, green tab "Post Attachments List", you'll probably find dozens. Also try the "Search" tool to help you.

Randy I have a really dumb question.
Where is the title page?
I also do not see a Green tab labeled "Post Attachments List"

Not a problem....The 1st page that comes up when you log in, or the front page that lists all the areas of discussion is essentially a title page

There is a green little rectangle labeled "POST ATTACHMENTS LIST" at the upper left hand corner in between the picture of the lighthouse and the lightning strike....click it! You will get a lsiting of over 1000 attachments that are free for you to use. What you are searching for will be in there...trust me.

I am flip flopping on this topic - I used to try to integrate the CA activity onto other forms, but I have found that it becomes hard to track all of the actions starting from these forms (i.e. a CA section on a NCR form , a CA section on a customer complaint form....).

I now find it easier to close off these forms by referring to a CA (noting the reference number) and track only the CAs.

We also start with a "CAR" and include the other stuff (RMA) in it. Except we do not even call them a CAR. They are an issue, each assigned a number. We have a problem description, list of material within the issue, root cause analysis, actions to be taken (if required), material return authorization and our own internal return documentation, credit or debit memo authorization and information.
