Supplier management in the medical device and IVD sectors doesn’t mean managing just vendors; they act as extensions of your quality system. Global regulatory bodies under programs like MD-SAP emphasize one critical aspect of compliance: effective supplier management. Yet for many companies, this aspect becomes a source of constant challenges and complexity.
The difficulties often begin with Supplier Qualification. This process goes beyond assessing technical expertise to include ethical, financial, and regulatory readiness. The real challenge here is managing hundreds of documents and deadlines, risking expired certifications slipping through unnoticed. Then, there’s Material Qualification, where keeping track of the compliance status for thousands of components—ensuring adherence to standards like REACH and RoHS year after year—is no small feat. During routine supply operations, businesses face the added burden of handling non-conformances (NCs), corrective action requests (SCARs), and monitoring supplier performance, often drowning in emails and scattered spreadsheets.
Attempting to manage this large volume of data with inadequate tools leads to inefficiency and compliance risks. But there’s a solution.
