As the saying goes you are only as strong as your weakest link, and this goes for today’s Contamination Control Strategies (CCS). As drug manufacturers assess their CCS, one must inevitably consider the quality and control of materials from third party suppliers that enter the aseptic process. A critical success factor to a CCS is the ability of your suppliers to create and maintain a holistic CCS covering all aspects of the manufacturing operation, including environmental control, validation and monitoring, quality systems, and processes.

This free webinar will explore lessons learned from West, a supplier of high-quality packaging components and devices, as it addresses EU GMP Annex 1 requirements through the implementation of a comprehensive CCS across its global network to ensure best practices and continual improvement. The talk will also demonstrate how Quality by Design (QbD) principles and manufacturing controls are applied to West NovaPure® stoppers and plungers ensuring a consistent and predictable level of contamination control.
