GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) auditsare used in the medical device and pharmaceutical industry in order to examine the way activities are performed, and to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. In essence, audits aim to verify that the products are manufactured in a way that will ensure that they are safe and achieve their goals.
Audits can be external (likeregulatory inspections or client audits) or internal. Internal auditsare audits carried out by the company to assess its own operations, detect instances of non-compliance, and implement corrective actions. Sometimes companies like to conduct mock audits, as a preparation to regulatory audits.
If you have subcontractors (e.g. vendors ofAPIs, packaging materials, etc.), you are required to ensure that your suppliers meet GMP standards. Gaps and deficiencies in your suppliers’ process impact your products, can lead to recalls, adverse events, and impact your reputation.
According to the regulations, you are responsible! In order to ensure that your suppliers comply with GMP standards, you may want to audit the way your key suppliers manufacture and deliver products to you, by conducting supplier audits.
