Quality Assurance (QA) Overview
To ensure that your cannabis products are of high quality, safe for consumption, and meet regulatory requirements, GrowerIQ includes a robust Quality Assurance (QA) module designed specifically for cannabis quality control and regulatory reporting.
In the QA module you will be able to:
Audit Activity Logs for all cannabis inventory
Create Samples, and manage testing activities
Conducting and managing Recalls
Log and audit Sanitation Activities
Create Deviation Reports (planned or unplanned)
Launch and manage CAPA investigations
Business and regulatory reporting
CAPAs
CAPA stands for "Corrective And Preventative Actions". When a deviation (planned or unplanned) occurs, a CAPA is a step-by-step plan to investigate the deviation and make any corrective or preventative action necessary.
You can associate CAPAs with these entities:
Users in your CRM
Inventory
Requests
Deviation reports
You can also create actions to fix issues, including an expiration date for each action.
Example
You noticed that your temperature sensor in Grow Room #1 is giving an inaccurate reading. This is considered a minor or unplanned deviation. You still don't know how long the sensor has been faulty or what impact it has had on your plants in Grow Room #1.
Therefore, you can create a CAPA based on the deviation report to investigate.
CAPA plans set out actions you will take to investigate whether or not this deviation had an impact on your plants. Once your action plan is complete, you can list your findings and close CAPA.
To access CAPAs, navigate to QA > CAPAs and click Log New Report. Complete the form on the modal with the correct information and click CREATE REPORT. The CAPA is created and added to the list. You can click on any CAPA in the list to view it.
(Note: You need to complete the previous tour in order for this tour to work).
