Executive Summary
The Global Harmonization Task Force's draft guidance on corrective and preventive action does not use the acronym "CAPA," calling it an "improvement process" instead. This is because "the concept of corrective action and preventive action has been incorrectly interpreted to assume that a preventive action is required for every corrective action," the document states.
