Pre-Course Session: What you need to know about Suppliers in China and India - Live Online Training

During this course, you will learn all relevant aspects to imple- ment and/ or improve a comprehensive and integrated Supplier Qualification System which fulfils regulatory GMP requirements. Furthermore, you will get to know possibilities and tools to in- crease efficiency and decrease costs at your company.

Qualification and audits of suppliers, contract manufacturers and laboratories and other service providers are an important part of each Quality System. But what is required and which steps are really necessary? And is it possible to even decrease audit activities?

The requirements and efforts to qualify suppliers should not be underestimated. However, it seems that a downright ‘audit tourism’ has grown and suppliers and service providers are au- dited sometimes too often. In the globalising world more and more supplies are coming from countries like India and China. And qualifying these suppliers brings other challenges. This adds up to significant expenses for both the audited and the auditing company.

But supplier qualification is not limited to auditing. The whole process of supplier qualification and co-operation should be integrated in the existing Quality System of a company.
