Assess Impact For Supplier Change Notices (Recorded)

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:

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.
