Course description
Supplier Management
This interactive training course equips you with all the tools to develop, implement or improve your pharmaceutical supplier management programs.
Using a risk-based approach, we will look at processes for selecting, introducing and maintaining suppliers. These tools will be scalable to your specific business situation. There will be something to learn, no matter what goods and service supply you are involved in. These principles can be applied to sterile APIs, calibration services, unbranded cardboard boxes and everything in between.
At the end of the two days, you will leave with the appropriate tools and management skills needed to increase the value of your supply chain and meet regulatory expectations.

Training Course Content
The supply of goods and services from third parties is essential to the prosperity of any business. This is especially TRUE in the pharmaceutical industry as indicated by the increasing regulatory attention on supplier management. This course helps to demonstrate the importance of value, rather than basic cost, of purchased items being a driver. A good supplier quality management program is a great tool for reducing the cost of poor quality and increasing company efficiency.
