PRACTICAL METHODS FOR STRENGTHENING RISK MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN MEDICAL DEVICE SOURCING

Medical devices have become increasingly complex due to advances in technological innovation, which in turn, has required additional product suppliers to provide the necessary components.  A lack of appropriate risk mitigation processes and procedures specific to sourcing and procurement activities can lead to a magnitude of challenges including regulatory enforcement action, cost variations, and unexpected inventory deficiencies. In order to combat this, sourcing and procurement teams must implement a holistic approach for evaluating potential risk.

• Structure of a supply resiliency program
