Your Best Recall is the One You Never Have to DoSparta Systems
Regardless of industry, the best recalls are the ones that never happen. Recalls are not only costly to a company’s bottom line, but also to its reputation. Since so many entities are involved in the process of manufacturing, packaging, and distributing a finished product, it’s crucial to have insight into each link in the supply chain to avoid a costly recall.

How to Assess New Technology - OMTEC 2017April Bright
Creating robust product pipelines is a top priority for most global orthopaedic device companies, yet our industry’s commercial success rate for new product launches remains less than 20%. Traditionally one of the largest contributors to the less-than-stellar success rate is failure in the very first steps of the development process: a new technology assessment. We will examine the ways that companies address challenges associated with new technology assessments, and some of the key lessons learned.

Meeting Description:
Food packaging is an important element to the safety of food and its ingredients, as they travel through the supply chain and on to the consumer.
How can you protect yourself, your brand, your customers, and the end consumer from adverse impacts?
What are best practices you should be paying attention to in manufacturing and purchasing of packaging materials and components?
-How can you proactively monitor and manage your suppliers?
-Debra Krug-Reyes of ConAgra will discuss the need for food safety programs at packaging suppliers.
-George Gansner of IFS will then talk about the role and importance of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and International Featured Standards.
This webinar will reveal the history of the IFS PACsecure standard, focus on the benefits of certification to the supplier and customer, as well as review the tools available in support of certification which include HACCP implementation workbooks designed specifically for the sector for which it applies (glass, metal, rigid plastic, flexible plastic, and paper – corrugated, paper board, etc.).
About the IFS PACsecure standard:
Since 2003, IFS has built its presence around the world as a leading standard in the food supply chain, and in 2013, IFS PACsecure was added to the family of GFSI benchmarked certifications. This standard for primary and secondary packaging materials was developed to provide packaging converters the opportunity to certify their systems and products with a HACCP-based approach, using risk-based methodology.
Developed jointly by the food and packaging industry in North America with the guidance of the Packaging Consortium, the IFS PACsecure standard is now globally viable and meets GFSI customer requirements.
Overview of testing, certification, and record keeping requirements for consumer products, including children's products. Addresses initial certification testing, material change testing, and periodic testing if you have continued production. Presentation also addresses optional component part testing. A review of mandatory recordkeeping requirements and undue influence training is also discussed.
There are many concerns when facing quality management within organizations and big companies. There are always high risks in the supply chain. Furthermore, there are risks with internal infrastructure and the value chains (from distribution to retail to the consumer).
Almost 50% of Recalls in the USA are caused by allergens in a consumer product not indicated on the product's label. Learn more about allergens here: https://www.saiglobal.com/en-us/assurance/food_safety/?utm_source=slideshare&utm_medium=presentation&utm_campaign=food_safety
In this webinar, you will learn how to optimize your CAPA program by clearly defining the problem, and understanding what questions to ask to identify the root cause of the problem.

Plan for Success Strategies to Align Reimbursement and Commercialization - OM...April Bright
Product launch is not the time to start securing reimbursement for your device. Reimbursement remains a complex process for orthopaedic companies that could be lessened if properly aligned throughout commercialization. Mr. Hunter shares the who, what and when of reimbursement to ensure that you’ve received proper coverage prior to launch.
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product.
Pharmaceutical industry is a very vital segment of the
our health care system, which deals with manufacturing
and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biological
products and medicinal devices, used for the diagnosis
and treatment of diseases as well as conducts research
for development of new products for human welfare
TQM involves
building quality in a pharmaceutical product as it
involve complete records such as standard operating
procedures for every step, validation records, master
formula records and batch production records etc.
As aquaculture continues to contribute to the world’s seafood supply, there has been a proportionate rise in dependence on veterinary medicinal products (VMP) used to control disease outbreaks. A wide variety of VMP’S are used in aquaculture settings to control outbreaks of disease and parasites. The incorrect use of VMP’S can lead to rejected shipments, severed contracts, and negative publicity. Risk assessments and management programs must be implemented to assure the supply chain that finished product is not adulterated. Annual third party certification audits are used to gauge compliance with requirements. Globally, large retail chains have committed to purchasing from certified suppliers. This presentation provides a framework for preparing, implementing, and managing the controlled use of VMP’s based on compliance criteria specified in aquaculture certification schemes
The primary responsibility of the post-close supply chain transition team is to achieve and maintain uninterrupted upstream supply and an excellent downstream customer experience while delivering the projected savings from the combined company. This presentation provides guidance on ways to identify, assess and avoid or minimize opportunities for supply chain disruption immediately after closing, as well as best practices for successful supply chain consolidation and integration.
FDA Inspections are Different from ISO Audits, So Don't Treat Them the Same -...April Bright
ISO audits and FDA inspections differ logistically, and should be approached in different manners. This presentation will explain the real-time differences between the two and, most importantly, give you strategies for preparation, behavioral tips for success during and after the assessments and recommendations for responding to the Registrar or FDA if deficiencies were discovered.
Campden BRI and Alchemy in partnership with BRC, SGS, SQF and TSI have released the results of the fourth annual global survey of food safety training.

Improving food safety culture was the top training goal for almost 80% of those surveyed
Many companies are not exploiting the specialist expertise available in their HR departments
Traditional training methods are still favored over online methods
Creating an Approved Supplier Program as a Prerequisite for a Successful HACC...TraceGains
If you have any questions or comments, please send them to connect@tracegains.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
Meeting Description:
Hazards come from two places; we add them or we receive them from our suppliers.
What should we expect from an effective supplier management program? Who is ultimately responsible for the safety of the products & materials received from our suppliers? How confident are we when we justify the control of a hazard as being through our approved supplier program? What percentage of recalls is traced to supplier issues?
HACCP requires that you:
-Identify those suppliers critical to food safety and quality
-Perform a hazard assessment and define the hazards
-Identify the potential risk and significance of the hazard
-Justify our decision based on facts, scientific information and historical data
Learn how to use your existing supplier data to:
-Automatically manage supplier compliance issues
-Continuously improve supplier performance
-Better manage supplier audits
