Supplier qualification
Qualification is a process, not a certificate on file
A supplier certificate proves a point in time. Qualification proves you are still watching.
Supplier questionnaires Scope, capability and compliance posture captured in writing.
Audit reports Findings and their closure reviewed, not just received.
GMP/GSDP certificates Checked against site, scope and expiry — not filed unread.
Risk-based evaluation Depth of qualification proportionate to what the supplier handles.
Ongoing performance monitoring Tracked across the relationship, with re-qualification triggers defined.
Common non-conformities
Five findings that account for most of the remediation work
None of these are exotic. All of them are avoidable with a verification checklist run on a schedule rather than in response to an inspection notice.
Missing calibration records
Poor documentation control
Incomplete temperature logs
Unqualified suppliers
Inadequate CAPA management
Verification checklist
