Centra CAPA Management vs ComplianceQuest

Centra CAPA Management is the corrective and preventive action module in Centra’s web-based quality management system. It collects nonconformities from complaints, audits, production deviations and supplier issues, then supports root-cause analysis, corrective-action planning and improvement monitoring. Named analysis methods are 5 Why, Ishikawa (Fishbone) and Pareto. Teams can assign owners, set target dates, split work into tasks and see delays. Effectiveness checks look for recurrence and use performance data and audit evidence. CAPA records can link to products, processes, equipment, suppliers, customers, documents and audit findings. The surrounding QMS includes document records, audits, change management, training and qualification, calibration, complaints and risk management. Centra describes access as web-based and mobile compatible. It says the QMS operates in compliance with ISO, GMP and GLP requirements. Pricing is on request, with a demo and tailored quote process.
