ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

The FDA is developing a program to assess and rate the quality management maturity (QMM) of facilities manufacturing drug products and active pharmaceutical ingredients. A successful QMM rating program will improve supply chain transparency, inform purchasing decisions, reduce drug shortages, and increase medicine availability.

In Part 1 of this QMM workshop, FDA subject matter experts and guest speakers will:

  • Provide a vision of CDER’s QMM program
  • Explain the importance of QMM and its potential to improve supply chain decisions and reduce drug shortages
  • Discuss the relationship between QMM, quality metrics, ICH Q12 Lifecycle Management, and advanced manufacturing
  • Share the perspectives of industry participants in CDER’s QMM pilot programs
  • Describe lessons learned from CDER’s QMM pilot programs

Join us for Part 2 of this QMM workshop in which FDA subject matter experts and guest speakers will:
