  • Fresno, CA (1888PressRelease) December 13, 2012 - When it comes to a medical device manufacturer's Supplier Qualification Program, the FDA seems to go by the philosophy of the proverb, "Judge a man by his friends". It considers the supplier as a logical extension of a medical device manufacturer's operations and holds the manufacturer responsible for many of the supplier's actions, as they relate to the device, especially in case of a failure.

    The FDA reserves the right to ask for and inspect documents relating to a medical device manufacturer's supplier qualification/purchasing controls. This webinar will offer expertise on how and why to choose a particular supplier, contractor or consultant; what quality requirements to expect from them; how to evaluate them for meeting specific requirements and how, and many other related questions.

    This webinar will familiarize participants with ways of documenting this assessment and define the extent and kind of control that the manufacturer will exercise over the supplier, contractor or consultant. It will help them identify the key elements of a robust, sustainable and successful Supplier Qualification Program, which is extremely important if device manufacturers have to effectively evaluate and select suppliers and subsequently implement agreements to ensure consistent material quality and/or services provided. This program will also define how conformance to manufacturer requirements has to be monitored and verified.

    This session will cover the following areas:
    o Learn the pre-selection, selection and assessment process through the use of various tools
    o Methods, techniques and strategies that work and are proven with supplier relations and qualification
    o Learn how to apply risk-based approaches and why and how to "rank" suppliers
    o Supplier Agreements, Quality Agreements and other documentation including Audits/Assessments
    o What to measure and how to measure supplier performance and assign classifications or levels
    o Selection and qualification of suppliers by audits and performance analysis are part of your quality system
    o Approved Supplier List and areas to be targeted during the assessment or evaluation
    o Learn the elements of the SOP and the assessment of supplier capabilities

    When:December 13, 10:00 AM PDT | 01:00 PM EDT
