One of the biggest challenges in managing Quality Objectives is knowing what to measure. With ISO standards pushing for evidence-based decision-making, companies in 2025 must identify performance indicators that truly reflect their progress—and avoid metrics that merely look good on paper.

Setting strategic Quality Objectives is a critical starting point, but they won’t generate impact unless they’re translated into clear, actionable goals at every level of the organization. In many companies, the real challenge isn’t setting objectives, it’s making them relevant and attainable for each department, team, and individual. To bridge this gap, organizations must embrace…

Effectiveness in Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) is more than just a regulatory requirement—it is a powerful tool for driving continuous improvement and ensuring long-term compliance. However, many organizations struggle with ineffective CAPA processes due to poor implementation, lack of follow-through, and inadequate documentation.
