While the first edition of this book was aimed solely at the FDA-regulated industry, the title of this second edition reflects the importance of the investigation/root cause analysis stage as the necessary preceding step of any effective corrective and preventive action system. Investigation and CAPA are concepts used in many sectors besides the FDA-regulated industry, such as: automotive, electronics, aerospace, telecommunications, process industry, and many more. This book will become an essential reference for those in these other industries.
