On receiving the inspection report, the addressee is given four weeks in which to propose measures to address the findings of the inspection.
This document, called a corrective and preventive action, or CAPA, plan, must distinguish corrective action (action intended to resolve shortcomings identified during the inspection) from preventive action (action intended to prevent a recurrence of shortcomings identified during the inspection).
Furthermore, it must be apparent that the proposed preventive action is intended to address the root cause of the shortcoming in question.
Two possible templates for a corrective action/preventive action plan (CAPA plan) can be found here on the right.
