Objectives

Leveraging Suppliers:
  • Learn what activities and deliverables you should expect to see from your IS/IT supplier to demonstrate Supplier Good Practice
  • Learn how to verify your supplier’s capabilities so that there are “no surprises”.
  • Learn how to plan validation (verification) activities, leveraging the expertise of your supplier
  • Learn how to minimise duplication of effort between the supplier and your regulated company in order to achieve lean and effective processes throughout the system life cycle
  • Learn how to work with your supplier in order to build a strong and lasting client-supplier relationship
 
Computerised Systems Validation Master Class:
 
As a specialist for the validation of computerised systems, the event will provide you with
  • Suggestions on how current regulatory guidance on computerised systems relating to data integrity, critical thinking and CSA (Computer Software Assurance) can be put into practice
  • Real-life examples of how validation effort can be scaled according to risk-based approaches
  • Answers to specific questions, e.g. on source code review or on creating specification documents
  • The opportunity to bring questions from your own practice up for discussion

Background

Leveraging Suppliers:
Recognising the potential savings and flexibility available, regulated companies are increasingly withdrawing from ‘in-house’ developed solutions and looking to their external suppliers to provide them with innovative and compliant products and services which fulfil their operational and business needs.

The EU-GMP Annex 11 on Computerised Systems states that ‘the competence and reliability of a supplier are key factors when selecting a product or service provider’; ‘Leveraging Supplier Involvement’ is also one of the 5 key concepts of the GAMP®5 guidance ‘A Risk-Based Approach to Compliant GxP Computerized Systems’.

This course aims to provide attendees with the knowledge, and opportunities to practice the skills required, to achieve successful partnerships with their IS/IT suppliers and to improve
 
 
Computerised System Validation Master Class:
The V-model has become a standard worldwide methodology for the validation of computerised systems. Regulatory requirements, as well as industry guidelines, like GAMP®5 2nd Edition, are orientated towards this model. In practice, you as a validation specialist will want to know how to apply this model to current and increasingly complex validation projects.

Target Group
