Course description

View Course Outline

The purpose of a regulatory inspection is to ensure that your facility is in compliance with FDA rules and regulations. Investigators want to know that product was manufactured appropriately and that the current Good Manufacturing Practices are up to FDA standard. An inspection can be very intimidating to all involved, but it is vital if you want an inspection that results in a satisfactory report.

Many organizations conduct supplier audits because they are required to do so by their customers or a regulatory agency. Others conduct the audits because they have been led to believe that it’s a good tool for comparing various suppliers against an arbitrary list of criteria. While all of these reasons have varying degrees of validity, none of them articulate the best reason for having a robust supplier audit program.

A good supplier audit program should allow an organization to assess and periodically re-affirm the ability of key suppliers to provide conforming product consistently, reliably and on-time. It should be one of the most important initiatives toward fulfilling the goal of having a sustainable supply chain.

In this training, you will learn the importance of having a good supplier audit program and how to develop one that is robust.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Describe who, when, what and why to audit your suppliers
  • Explain how to conduct the audit
  • Prepare a pre-audit questionnaire
  • List the areas to be audited and how to properly use check lists
  • Conduct effective close out meetings
  • Compare the advantages and disadvantages of using numerical audit scores
  • Issue observation reports and recommendations to your management and to your potential suppliers

This training is part of a 10 course (15 hour) series required for the FDA Inspection Readiness Certification. Attend this training as a step in the certification process or as a stand-alone course for personal career advancement and training.
