5 Why Analyser

Describe the incident, then work down the chain one why at a time. Each level has a prompt to keep the questioning on the system rather than the person. Export the finished worksheet as a Word document for your CAPA file — the analysis stays yours, this tool structures and formats it.

Internal Audit Checklist

Pick the department or area you are auditing and download a checklist covering only that area — the assessor checklist lines, the matching NABH 6th Edition element wording, compliance columns and a findings summary, ready to print or fill in.

Tools work best tied to a real standard.

Use RCA or Fishbone on a Non-Conformity, then trace it back to the exact NABH element that requires the fix.
