The 24 Elements You Need for a World-Class Quality Agreement
**An FDAnews On-Demand Webinar**
Dec. 16, 2016 — 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET

Supplier quality is a topic of perennial importance. Today’s minor mistake 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 Dec. 16 join Steven Sharf, a 20-year industry veteran who has managed thousands of suppliers for companies like Merck and Novartis for on-demand access to this popular webinar. He explains the 24 elements that must be included in quality agreements.
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 an agreement require to be retained?
- Subcontracting and whether it should be allowed 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.
Please note; this webinar has been previously recorded and no questions will be taken during the presentation.
