Why Corrective Action Tracking Matters

Nonconformities are not just audit findings — they represent certification risk. When corrective actions are tracked in emails or spreadsheets, deadlines slip, evidence gets missed, and previous NCs are forgotten in the next audit cycle. This often results in delayed certification decisions, escalations, or accreditation concerns.

CABAMS provides a structured corrective action workflow that links every NC to its site, stage, clause, root cause, action plan, evidence, verification, and final closure — with a complete audit trail.

CABAMS Corrective Action Tracking

Structured NC → CAPA Workflow

Capture, manage, verify, and close corrective actions with full traceability.

CABAMS ensures every NC moves through a controlled closure process — from identification to verification — with clear ownership, timelines, and evidence requirements. Open issues automatically reappear in future audits until verified and closed.

NCs tracked by audit, stage, site, clause and category
Due-date control with reminders and escalation options
Root cause, correction, corrective action & effectiveness checks
Evidence upload with version control and review history
Auto carry-forward of open NCs into next audit cycle
Outcome: Higher closure rates, reduced certification risk, and stronger audit defensibility.
