A fishbone diagram is useful in product development and troubleshooting processes to focus the conversation. The malfunction of hot water solenoid actuator valve of AHU system is the root cause for inconsistency in the relative humidity. As a part of Corrective and Preventive action (CAPA), if the deviation is once detected, then it needs immediate action (i.e., corrections), the root cause analysis should be done and systemic actions need to be implemented (i.e., corrective actions) to prevent non-conformances in the future. This is a REACTIVE action that eliminates PDA/FDA Executive Management Workshop. and design specifications. Allot the Deviation Control Number and forward to concerned department head Quality Culture has always been important within pharmaceutical manufacturing operations. including recommending changes to correct deficiencies.
