Quality Events and CAPA in Matrix Quality

Quality issues come in many forms. In Matrix Quality, nonconformances, deviations and complaints are handled as quality events that feed CAPA, with workflows you configure to fit your processes. Every issue is logged, investigated and closed with a full audit trail.

Matrix Quality: quality events list with type and CAPA status

The challenge

Quality issues managed in disconnected systems are hard to track and harder to audit

  • No single source of truthDeviations, complaints, nonconformances and CAPAs tracked in separate spreadsheets or email threads make it impossible to see the full picture.
  • Audit evidence is difficult to produceWithout a structured system, showing regulators that every issue was investigated and resolved takes significant manual effort.
  • Every team investigates differentlyA rigid system forces your process to fit the software, instead of the software fitting your process.

Our solution

  • Linked investigations and corrective actionsCAPAs connect directly to their triggering events, so nothing falls through the cracks.
