Supplier Quality Management 2015 - Supplier Quality Management - Implement it Now or Pay for it Later

Overview:
Failure to adequately assess and control your supplier/subcontractor pool can result in dire consequences for an organization. Aside from the regulatory implications for failure to comply with FDA's requirements, not assessing and monitoring your suppliers can result in product recalls, high levels of complaints, potential patient/user injuries and deaths, and expensive lawsuits.
Not explicitly defining the responsibilities of your suppliers can lead to adulterated and misbranded product, as well as unnecessary costs associated with cost of good and overhead. Assessing and approving your suppliers before placing the first order with them will eliminate many headaches for a medical device manufacturer. This webinar will provide attendees with the information and tools necessary to develop, implement, and effectively utilize and maintain a program for Supplier Quality Management that will satisfy the FDA's requirements without creating undue burdens for the organization.
