Using CQ Investigation Assistant

Overview

A CQ Investigation Assistant supports creating and maintaining complete NC and CAPA investigations by using historical records to draft consistent content and close documentation gaps. It compiles key facts into an investigation summary and prompts you to complete the missing 5W2H fields using the information already captured in the record.

It matters because consistent investigation content improves traceability, supports root cause decisions, and speeds review by reducing rework. It also uses past investigation patterns to suggest immediate causes, root causes, and action plans aligned to similar historical investigations.
