Vendor Qualification and Audit Training
Vendor Qualification and Audit Training
Unless you intend to test every shipment of every component for every specification, you must qualify your vendors. But FDA does not provide much guidance on how to qualify vendors. This class is designed for to give people who want to improve quality in their facility and who already have a basic understanding of the Dietary Supplement GMPs, the knowledge and skills necessary to qualify suppliers. Since the evaluation of all types of suppliers often involves auditing, this course will incorporate a fresh look at the process of auditing and the skills and techniques necessary to get the most from these activities. The auditing skills and techniques learned in this course are independent of the type of auditing or the standard being audited. These skills and techniques will be useful when conducting internal audits as well as performing audits of suppliers
