Notified bodies and the FDA cannot require your suppliers to meet the quality system regulations, so they must make sure you are exercising sufficient control over those suppliers. You must make sure your supplier management and system meet all required regulations, especially for critical suppliers.
This class will review the QSR and ISO requirements for supplier evaluation, including defining the types of suppliers that require evaluation, including “critical” suppliers and outsourced processes. The QSR and ISO requirements for supplier assessment will be defined as well. The webinar will discuss the application of a risk-based process resulting in a customized supplier management system.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Sure, you depend on your suppliers to provide you with goods and services, but can your system prove that you have sufficient control over your suppliers to assure auditors and regulatory agencies that your product is safe and meets all your requirements? Your supplier management program can comply, but is it cost-effective? If not, your unquantifiable overhead costs may be out of control. Is your supplier management program collaborative with your suppliers? If your company is too demanding of your suppliers, you risk alienating them or even worse losing them – try explaining that to your supply chain management!
