Why Should You Attend:

This course reviews the qualification cycle for suppliers and contractors. Although the process is similar, the contractor requires more scrutiny because contractors are subject to GMPs.
The qualification cycle begins with the material specification and ends with process validation. The key steps between the beginning and the end will be discussed in the webinar. They include supplier/contractor selection, research, the questionnaire, the audit, evaluating the audit and following the preset criteria for qualification, report preparation, negotiating corrective actions, mutual approval of the specification, change control agreement, monitoring the supplier/contractor quality, verifying acceptance by certificate of analysis, corrective action follow-up, and re-audit for qualification based on supplier history.

The use of some auditing tools will be explained. Questionnaires for all types of suppliers and contractors developed by the presenter will be shown and described. Examples include Medical Device, Pharmaceutical, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient, Contract Laboratory (GMP), Contract Laboratory (GLP), Equipment Manufacturers, and Calibration Providers. Supplier/Contractor Research guides will also be shown. Other tools presented during the course include audit flow sheets that are specific to the type of audit being conducted. Examples of these include Parenteral, API, USP, water production and laboratory.

Learning objectives:

  • The Lack of Material Controls Causes Problems but Teamwork Overcomes It.
  • The Component Specification & Associated Analytical Methods Is the Battleground.
  • You Must Know More About the Supplier Quality System Than They-Be Prepared.
  • Audit Tools helps To Guide the Qualification Decision.
  • One of Your Roles is to Reduce Risk to Your Company.
  • The Qualification Decision Will Never Be Forgotten.
  • Follow-Up Activities Are More Important Than the Audit Report.
  • Now, I Think I Understand What the FDA term, Supplier History, means.
