Qualifying Supplement Ingredient and Packaging Suppliers
The short answer
Start with material risk, then define documents, samples, audit and testing needed before approval. After purchasing, monitor quality deviations, delivery and complaint response when renewing the decision.
Three actions to take
- Match review depth to material risk.
- Approve supplier and material together.
- Review performance after significant deliveries.
Start with the real scope
Start with material risk, then define documents, samples, audit and testing needed before approval. After purchasing, monitor quality deviations, delivery and complaint response when renewing the decision.
- Match review depth to material risk.
- Approve supplier and material together.
Review the points that change the decision
A practical system for comparing documents, technical capability and actual performance rather than price alone. Record assumptions clearly and separate confirmed data from items that need checking against the official source or actual operation.
- Approve supplier and material together.
- Review performance after significant deliveries.
Turn the review into a usable output
Finish with an owner, version, date and follow-up indicator. This keeps the file useful after delivery and allows it to change with the activity, product or system.
- Match review depth to material risk.
- Review performance after significant deliveries.
