This webinar will present strategies and tools for doing a complete and comprehensive impact assessment of supplier change notices. Tools and procedures for deciding if full impact assessments need to be processed and when notices for lower impact changes can be accepted or rejected without a full assessment will be discussed. Who (what skill sets) should be on the impact assessment team, how often to meet and methods for evaluating change notices will also be discussed. Supplier agreements and quality agreements with suppliers and vendors as well as using risk based approaches to impact assessments will be highlighted.
Any manufacturer of pharmaceutical products or medical devices will have vendors and suppliers in order to acquire the materials needed for manufacturing product. In a regulated environment, the manufacturer is responsible for the quality and source of all incoming materials. When supplier or vendors make changes to material, its own manufacturing or supplier they should tell the manufacturer about these changes via a supplier change notice. Without proper evaluation of the change, unforeseen changes could occur in the product leading to failed manufacturing runs or the release of non-conforming material to market. Regulatory agencies (FDA) expect manufactures to be in control of all incoming material, therefore failure to do a proper impact assessment of supplier changes could also lead to enforcement action and/or product recall. Manufactures need a robust process ensure all vendors and suppliers provide change notices and to evaluate all notices for impact.
