Falls Church, VA (PRWEB) January 12, 2016 -- The 24 Elements You Need For a World-Class Quality Agreement

Supplier quality is a fundamental topic of perennial importance. Agreements with suppliers must be written and executed to cover every possible contingency and ensure that the materials that go into the products are exactly what is required and are available when needed. Today’s minor mistake by a supplier could easily turn into tomorrow’s major recall. And if manuacturers don’t catch all the oversights in a quality agreement, odds are the FDA will.
On Jan. 27 join Steven Sharf, a 20-year industry veteran who has managed thousands of suppliers for companies like Merck and Novartis, as he explains the 24 elements that must be included in a quality agreement.
Attendees will not only learn what the 24 elements are but they will also learn:
• The importance of clearly defined roles in the complaint handling / adverse event reporting process
• The need for a responsibility matrix to clearly identify what entity is responsible for what quality function
• How many samples should the agreement require to be retained?
• Subcontracting and whether a company should allow it at the discretion of the subcontractor
Don't think that because there is no explicit (FDA) requirement for auditing suppliers that manufacturers won't get written up in a heartbeat for not having a robust audit program and quality audits of suppliers.
