QAD Life Sciences Supplier Management • The FDA inspector noted that the company didn’t include a risk-based approach to its annual evaluation of suppliers since suppliers listed as critical are not reviewed or monitored. Moreover, the firm’s annual review of suppliers only rates suppliers on their late deliveries, dollars rejected, and responsiveness to corrective actions. (from FDA Warning Letter) • Warning letter dings the firm for failing to ensure that all suppliers conform to specified requirements. (from FDA Warning Letter) • Tate’s procedures for supplier selection and evaluation did not feature requirements for suppliers, contractors and consultants regarding medical devices, and the company failed to document its evaluation of potential suppliers. (from FDA Warning Letter)
