Purchasing Controls: Best Practices in a Regulated Environment

This webinar CD provides an educational opportunity to learn more about purchasing controls — one of the leading issues that medical device manufacturers are confronting now and in the future!

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
A growing trend in the medical device industry is global sourcing using strategic initiatives and centralized purchasing.  The increased use of outside suppliers and consultants places greater significance on the contractual relationships between manufacturers and their vendors.  Due to a changing industry it is very critical that companies understand how the purchasing process interacts with design and verification activities, manufacturing, planning, and evaluation and monitoring techniques.
