DESCRIPTION
The FDA regulations for medical devices define the requirements for supplier selection, management, and control. ISO 13485 includes similar requirements. In February 2009, the Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) released a guidance document on controlling products and services from suppliers. This guidance document has become the global de facto standard for supplier management. The seminar helps you understand the regulations and the expectations of the guidance document.
Supply chains for medical devices are important now and growing in importance as device manufacturers outsource products and services. As some of this outsourcing moves offshore and to low cost countries, the supply chain becomes longer, more diverse, and more difficult to control. The medical device manufacturer, however, has the ultimate responsibility for the product, so supply chain management becomes a critical function. This seminar explains the regulations and helps you implement the GHTF guidance document
Why Should You Attend

As part of their Quality Management System (QMS) requirements, manufacturers must evaluate, select, and monitor suppliers. As the supply chain becomes longer and more diverse, the methods of control become more difficult and the expectations of regulators become more stringent.
The best approach implements specific actions:
• Create clear requirements for supplier
• Evaluate potential suppliers against the criteria
• Create cross-functional multi-discipline teams that remain active beyond the selection process
The team approach, often called a commodity team or supplier team, is one of the most effective methods for supplier selection and management. The team needs to understand the requirements, implement the best practices in the GHTF document, and work with suppliers. This seminar provides the tools and techniques to help your teams manage the supplier base.
