CAPA

CAPA

Acronym for Corrective and Preventive Action.

Corrective action:
Action taken to eliminate the cause of the existing non-conformity to prevent its recurrence.

Preventive action:
Action taken to eliminate the cause of potential non-conformity.

Both of these are prevention oriented.

The quick fix type actions are called as corrections
