Most facilities don’t struggle to open a CAPA — they struggle to close one permanently. A corrective action that addresses a symptom instead of the true root cause will resurface, often in a different form, until the underlying process gap is actually fixed. CDR Global Enterprises applies statistical quality control techniques to the design and implementation of manufacturing processes, ensuring operational gaps are correctly identified, the fixes put in place are the right ones, and — critically — that those fixes are sustained over time. This is continuous improvement consulting and process improvement consulting grounded in real root cause discipline, not paperwork closure.
Manufacturing and quality teams across pharmaceutical, medical device, food, dietary supplement, cosmetic, and homecare product categories that need stronger root cause discipline, a redesigned CAPA system, or help clearing a backlog of open or recurring corrective actions.
We bring real statistical problem-solving rigor to every investigation, and we don’t consider an issue resolved until we’ve verified the fix holds under actual operating conditions — the same standard we hold our own recommendations to.
A CAPA system that closes issues without truly resolving them creates a false sense of security — and a growing backlog of recurring problems that eventually surface during an audit. Facilities with disciplined root cause and CAPA processes see measurably better audit outcomes, reduced operational risk, and real, sustained improvement in product quality, because the fixes in place are addressing actual causes, not symptoms.
Recurring CAPAs are almost always a sign the original investigation addressed a symptom rather than the true root cause. Structured, statistically grounded root cause analysis is the most reliable way to prevent recurrence.
Yes. We regularly help facilities work through CAPA backlogs, prioritizing by risk and closing each one with a verified, sustainable fix rather than a rushed paperwork close-out.
Both. We resolve the immediate problem-solving need while training your team on the methodology, so root cause discipline becomes part of how your organization operates going forward.
