4-Hour Virtual Seminar on Supplier Qualification: Risk-Based Supplier Evaluation Workshop

Overview:

Regulatory agencies have indicated that a more focused review of purchasing controls/supplier management processes will be enforced in all upcoming audits and inspections of pharmaceuticals, medical device companies, and other regulated industries. Manufacturers bear the responsibility for every step in their supply chain to ensure they provide quality finished goods beyond what can be achieved through testing and inspection, meaning overall quality depends on the quality of raw materials, components, and services.
