One and a Half Day Seminar: Effective Quality Oversight of Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing Organizations (Burlingame, CA, United States - July 27-28, 2017) - Research and Markets

DUBLIN, Apr 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Effective Quality Oversight of Pharmaceutical Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs): One and a Half day In-Person Seminar" conference to their offering.

The globalization of the pharmaceutical supply chain has led increased us of Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs). The use of CMOs provides many benefits; however, it can present unique compliance risks, particularly since the operations are not in your facility and therefore not under your direct control. The compliance risks are highlighted by FDA Warning Letter trends, the majority of which are related to serious compliance and data integrity issues at foreign CMO sites.

This seminar will help all personnel responsible for CMO oversight understand how to manage CMOs- from start to finish. In-depth focus will be placed on Selection and Qualification, Quality Agreements, Understanding of CMO Operations, and Review of Key CMO Records. Considerations for different types of manufacturing will be highlighted, and techniques for managing difficult CMO situations will be discussed. This is a practical how-to course, designed to provide participants with skills they can immediately apply to CMO oversight within their own organizations. Group exercises will allow participants to practice skill sets with feedback from the instructor.
