Read what our customers have to say about Investigations and CAPA training!
I have been doing CAPA’s for 19 years, but never like this – great tools and presentation to help understand processes better to take back and add to our company’s process.
After receiving training through PathWise, we certainly see a general improvement in our CAPA process, including Root Cause Analysis and Documentation..There is also a reduction in the number of open CAPAs, resulting in less people being involved and less pressure for our organization.
