Introduction
The more advanced manufacturing has become, the more streamlined it has gotten. Parts come from various suppliers throughout the world; certain functions or entire processes are outsourced. Companies achieve efficiency and reduce operating costs this way, but they sometimes risk product safety and regulatory compliance when they fail to properly manage suppliers, contract research organizations (CROs), and contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs).
In the pharmaceutical industry, the vulnerability of sponsors has come to light recently when contaminated heparin from a Chinese supplier caused patient deaths. Outside of the life sciences sector, the auto industry has seen numerous problems with faulty parts coming from foreign suppliers.
In the past, manufacturers were primarily concerned about cost savings when outsourcing functions or contracting with vendors. Now they must also be vigilant about managing these external parties to ensure compliance and product safety. If your company uses the services of suppliers, CMOs, and CROs, this white paper will show you how the MasterControl™ GxP process and document management software solution can help you manage these external parties more effectively to minimize supply chain risks, ensure compliance, and optimize your outsourcing investments.
