Quality Oversight 2020 - Effective Quality Oversight of Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs)

The globalization of the pharmaceutical supply chain has resulted in the increased use of Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs). The use of CMOs provides many benefits; however, it also presents unique compliance risks, particularly since operations are not under your direct control.
