Introduction
A robust Quality Management System (QMS) is the backbone of any GMP-compliant pharmaceutical operation. During supplier or vendor audits, evaluating their QMS is essential to ensure that your sourcing partners can consistently deliver safe, high-quality products and services.
What Is a QMS Audit?
A QMS audit assesses how a supplier or manufacturer manages quality across all operations—from documentation and change control to deviations, CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Actions), and internal audits. It’s a way to ensure your vendors meet global regulatory standards (like USFDA, EMA, WHO-GMP, and ICH guidelines).
