Auditing and Qualifying Suppliers and Vendors Seminar: An Effective Risk Based Approach - November 2-4, 2022

DUBLIN, Oct. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Auditing and Qualifying Suppliers and Vendors - An Effective Risk Based Approach" training has been added to  ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This eight-hour vendor qualification audit training will help you improve quality in your facility. It is designed for those who already have a basic understanding of dietary supplement GMPs and the knowledge and skills necessary to qualify suppliers.

Supplier or vendor qualification is a crucial component in compliance to 21 CFR 111. The FDA requires that manufacturers of dietary supplements must "qualify" each of their vendors but do not provide guidance on how a company is to perform this qualification.

Supplier qualification principles also apply to subcontracted services affecting cGMP (manufacturingsteps, packaging and labeling, testing and/or calibration services, storage and distribution, etc.)

Since the evaluation of all types of suppliers often involves auditing, this course will incorporate a fresh look at the auditing process and the skills and techniques needed to get the most from these activities. The skills and techniques learned are independent of the type of auditing or the standard being audited and will be useful when conducting internal audits and performing audits of suppliers.

Why Should You Attend

The various regulatory agencies have expectations that suppliers and vendors will demonstrate control over their manufacturing processes, validations, and documentation. Quality auditing is the process of checking whether these organizations have implemented what they have stated in written procedures and whether their people are doing what the organizations procedures state they will do.

Any supplier qualification program must include two critical components:

• Clearly defined specifications/requirements for all of these goods or services being purchased, and;
• Objective evidence to show that your requirements are being consistently fulfilled.
