Quality Assurance
Whether you are a pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, or dietary supplement company, you must comply with the appropriate FDA Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards. This requirement applies to sponsor companies of all sizes, from small virtual companies to large multi-national organizations. The expectation of the FDA is that you have control of your internal processes and external partners. You must have robust Quality oversight and a well-defined supplier qualification process.
