A supplier change notice can affect your product in ways that aren't obvious at first. This 60-minute webinar on impact assessments for supplier change notices presents strategies and tools for evaluating them thoroughly.
You'll learn how to decide whether a notice needs a full impact assessment and when lower-impact changes can be accepted or rejected without one. The session covers who should sit on the impact assessment team, which skill sets they need, how often to meet and how to evaluate notices, including verification and validation of the change.
It also highlights supplier and quality agreements with vendors, risk-based approaches to assessment, what happens if a change is unacceptable and how to set up incoming material specifications.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers are responsible for the quality and source of every incoming material. If a supplier change isn't evaluated properly, it can cause failed manufacturing runs or nonconforming product reaching the market, and FDA expects manufacturers to control incoming materials, so poor assessments can lead to enforcement action or recalls.
The session suits QA, regulatory affairs and supply chain professionals, technical scientists and production staff.
