Vendor and Supplier Qualification Program for FDA Regulated Industries

"Vendor and Supplier Qualification Program for FDA Regulated Industries" Seminar has been added to ComplianceOnline.com's offering.

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, April 19, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ComplianceOnline, the world’s leading provider of training for regulated companies will hold a virtual seminar entitled ‘Vendor and Supplier Qualification Program for FDA Regulated Industries.’ The seminar which will be presented by Joy McElroy, will help attendees establish and manage a program that is FDA compliant and robust.

The FDA regulates manufacturers of medical products such as devices, pharmaceuticals, tissue products, and biologics. However, the regulations don’t usually extent to suppliers. Instead, the FDA expects the medical product manufacturer to implement an effective program to qualify and re-qualify suppliers for these regulated industries.

An effective supplier qualification program has some specific elements including determining expectations and requirements, identifying potential suppliers, evaluating them, selecting a supplier, and re-evaluating the selected suppliers. When issues arise, the manufacturer communicates with the supplier and manages corrective action.

The result is a supplier qualification program that address two principal questions:

• Which suppliers are good enough to start doing business with you?
• Which suppliers should continue to do business with you?

This workshop explains an overarching supplier qualification program that is common to FDA regulated medical product manufacturers. It also provides the details of the various program areas such as devices, pharmaceuticals, etc.

An effective supplier qualification uses tools and techniques. The workshop explains particularly relevant tools such as supplier audits, metrics, scorecards, acceptance verification, and corrective action.
