Why Should You Attend:

Supply chain activities (including, the increase in outsourcing materials, components, manufacturing and services) have become more complex to manufacturers and oversight has become more challenging and complicated. Manufacturers are required to manage carefully their entire supply chain. Purchasing and supplier control deficiencies rank in the top 10 deficiencies related to warning letters. The FDA focuses on how companies are addressing procedures and their actual execution on: selection, evaluation, acceptance criteria establishment, communication process (including change notifications), controlling, and monitoring their suppliers and service providers among other related activities. As a result of recalls, there has been public concern regarding insufficient oversight of the entire supply chain from regulated companies.

This webinar will also compare GHTF Guidance (GHTF/SG3/N17:2008) on Control of Products and Services Obtained from Suppliers VS 21 CFR Section 820.50 Requirements. The webinar includes a challenges and conclusion session as well.
