Live Training: Vendor Management for MAHs – Cost Optimisation, KPIs, and Risk Management

Product detailed description

Effective vendor management is crucial for cost control, compliance, and operational efficiency in pharmacovigilance. Many Marketing Authorisation Holders (MAHs) outsource key pharmacovigilance activities but often struggle with unnecessary costs, unclear performance metrics, and inadequate risk mitigation. This webinar will provide practical strategies to help MAHs optimize vendor costs, establish meaningful KPIs, and implement a sustainable risk management framework. Through real-world examples, we will explore how to set up, monitor, and maintain an effective vendor management system while ensuring regulatory compliance. 

Key Topics Covered: 

1. Reducing Vendor Costs: Identifying cost-saving opportunities while maintaining compliance and service quality
2. Setting Effective KPIs: Defining and implementing measurable performance indicators to evaluate vendor efficiency. 
   
3. Practical Risk Management Implementation: Hands-on examples of risk assessment, mitigation strategies, and continuous monitoring. 
   
4. Maintaining Vendor Oversight: Best practices for regular audits, contract management, and performance reviews.
