The FDA’s Office of Compliance is reorganizing this year to better address the challenges of globalization, regulatory harmonization and controlling a global supply chain. Part of FDA’s changes include increased citation of ICH guidance in Warning Letters and FDA Form 483s. And FDA inspectors are now being trained on ICH, GHTF and PIC/S guidelines when it comes to auditing firms for supplier control. Are you ready for the globalized FDA inspector?


This audio conference presentation provides attendees with a roadmap to successfully integrate regulatory harmonization and risk management into supplier selection, qualification, and management. Presented by international supplier management and lean compliance expert John Avellanet, author of the acclaimed book, "Get to Market Now! Turn FDA Compliance into a Competitive Edge", the audio conference highlights current FDA inspector thinking and questions to prepare for, along with a review of the hidden risks that companies inadvertently stumble into when transitioning to global supplier qualification and management. Mr. Avellanet also walks attendees, step-by-step, through the best practices necessary to implement a successful program that meets the challenges of 21st century global supply chain and current FDA inspector expectations.
