This webinar will discuss dealing with supplier change notices. Regulatory agencies have the expectation that a manufacturer has control over its supply chain and dealing with changes to that supply chain can be challenging.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Companies in the pharmaceutical and medical device space are required to have control over their supply chain and suppliers. Suppliers make changes to their product, production, or location on a routine basis. The manufacturer needs to assess the impact of those changes on their product and or production before introducing the vendor's product into their manufacturing process. This webinar will discuss setting up good supplier agreements so change notifications are received and how to do a proper impact assessment of those notices before accepting altered products.
All companies in the pharmaceutical and medical device space are required to have control over their supply chain and suppliers. Inadequate assessment of changes to supplier material, production, or location can have an impact on the final product, process, and/or regulatory impact. This training will highlight ways to assess the impact of supplier changes to help mitigate the impact.
