Vendor qualification and audit

This course is designed to give people who want to improve quality in their facility – and who already have a basic understanding of the dietary supplement GMPs (good manufacturing practices) – 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, as well as 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. 
 
Who should attend? 
This course is valuable for quality assurance (QA)/quality control (QC), regulatory and compliance, laboratory, and other key personnel who are in charge of or a part of implementing a new (or modifying an existing) vendor qualification program into their dietary supplement companies’ operations. The course would also be useful for purchasing and production managers, who may be involved in the vendor determination process and could benefit from understanding some of the elements in qualifying a supplier.
