One way you can quickly end up in the weeds is by making every single problem a CAPA. That’s because it’s difficult to identify the most pressing issues when you’re faced with a mountain of CAPA requests.
Instead, quantitative risk assessment lets you see which items need further investigation, and which non-critical issues can just be fixed on the spot. Once CAPAs are in the system, sorting them by risk helps you see which requests deserve your attention first.
