Nonconformance and CAPA management for GMP and BRCGS manufacturers
Root Cause to Closure
Verified CAPA Records
Structured Nonconformance Logging
Capture deviations, complaints, product failures, and process incidents consistently — with structured fields that ensure no critical information is missed at the point of logging.
Root Cause Analysis Tools
Identify the underlying causes of nonconformances rather than treating symptoms — using structured root cause tools aligned to ISO 22716 and BRCGS corrective action requirements.
Corrective and Preventive Actions
Manage corrective and preventive actions through controlled, approved workflows — with defined owners, due dates, and mandatory evidence before any CAPA can be closed.
Evidence and Verification Control
Actions cannot be closed without supporting evidence and appropriate approval — ensuring every CAPA is genuinely effective, not just administratively complete.
Trend Identification
Monitor recurring nonconformances across processes, products, and suppliers — identifying systemic weaknesses before they become audit findings or product safety risks.
Inspection-Ready Records
Full nonconformance histories are structured, retained, and instantly accessible — providing the documented evidence trail that BRCGS and ISO 22716 auditors require.
Why it is important
Cornerstone ensures every nonconformance leads to meaningful, verified corrective action and measurable system improvement — reducing repeat findings and demonstrating a functioning quality system to auditors.
Task Management & Workflows
Assign, track, escalate and close compliance actions as controlled records — with full audit trails. Every action generated against any compliance event, owned and attributed.
Production Control
Works orders, in-process checks, weights and measures compliance and full batch traceability — connected directly to stock, MRP and quality workflows.
Supplier Management
Onboard, approve and monitor every supplier — with expiry alerts, risk-based evaluation and performance records. Know who you are buying from and why you trust them.
Risk Management
HACCP plans, HARA decision trees, glass and brittle material registers and risk matrices — built in from day one, for both food safety and ISO 22716 GMP compliance.
Stock & Inventory Management
Bills of materials, vulnerability assessments, MRP and full batch and location traceability. Cornerstone users consistently report stock accuracy above 97%.
