Abstract : This review provide an overview of the various documentation of quality management system, which includes deviations, OOS and CAPA. A detailed case study of deviations, out-of-Specification and CAPA generation is beneficial for improving pharmaceutical capabilities and understanding the documentation associated with a quality management system. It is essential for understanding deviations and out-of-spec in the pharmaceutical industry. The quality of medicines means that they meet the required specifications. The quality management system in the pharmaceutical industry is essential because the drugs or pharmaceutical products are delivered directly to the customer's body. Therefore, identity, purity, safety, and the quality of the products are critical. A Deviation can define as "a deviation from an approved instruction or established standard" The deviation process helps identify potential risks to product quality and patient safety and establish the root cause. Once the root cause identifies, appropriate corrective and preventive actions take to prevent reoccurrence. OOS defines as "A result that is outside the specifications or acceptance criteria established by the manufacturer or laboratory" As the industry moves to newer and more complicated products, quality control procedures must be in place to ensure consistent product quality. "CAPA defined by corrections.

Keywords : Deviation; Out-of-Specification (OOS); Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA).
