CAPA Analytics

Overview

A manufacturing company aimed to enhance its Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) process by incorporating an AI-powered visual inspection system. The goal was to automate defect detection and use machine learning algorithms to classify, prioritize, and resolve quality issues more efficiently. This system would not only track defects but also suggest corrective actions and assess their effectiveness in reducing defect rates. Over time, it would create a repository of remediation strategies, enabling quicker, data-driven decisions when similar defects occur in the future.

Challenges

The company integrated its AI-driven visual inspection system with the CAPA process, leveraging machine learning algorithms to automate defect detection and prioritization. The system analyzed defect patterns, categorized them (e.g., critical, high, medium, or low), and recommended corrective actions based on historical CAPA records. By incorporating AI into the CAPA process, these challenges were addressed by automating defect classification and corrective measures, leading to faster resolutions.
