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:

Good Manufacturing Practice regulations, which have the force of law, require that manufacturers, processors, and packagers of medicinal products take proactive steps to ensure that their products are safe, pure, and effective. cGMP regulations require a quality approach to manufacturing, enabling companies to minimize or eliminate instances of contamination, mix-ups, and errors.

Personnel involved in cGMP must have documented training of current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) training. This webinar will focus on the FDC Act and 21CFR federal regulations as applied to cGMP and provide an overview of the US FDA regulations for compliance.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

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 vendors 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 product.

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 impact on final product, process and/or regulatory impact. This training will highlight ways to assess the impact of supplier changes to help mitigate impact.
