QARA Bitesize: Supplier Management and Resilience

Irish Medtech’s QARA Bitesize Webinar Series continues with a focused session on Supplier Management & Resilience, exploring how medtech manufacturers can maintain robust quality oversight while building resilience across increasingly complex supply chains.

As global economic pressures, supply chain disruption, material shortages and regulatory requirements continue to evolve, supplier management has become both a quality and strategic business priority. This webinar will examine how organisations can strengthen supplier controls, support supply continuity, and ensure compliance with ISO 13485, MDR and IVDR requirements.

Our expert speakers will discuss practical approaches to risk-based supplier management, outsourced process control, supplier-related change management, alternative sourcing strategies, and audit readiness. The session will also explore how manufacturers can use quality management system processes to support resilience, continuity planning and regulatory compliance in an increasingly volatile operating environment.

Attendees will gain insights from a notified body perspective, practical implementation experience, and real-world industry examples, helping them strengthen supplier oversight while balancing quality, compliance and operational resilience.

This webinar is designed for Quality Managers, Regulatory Affairs professionals, QMS leaders, Supplier Quality specialists, Supply Chain professionals, and senior operational leaders working across the medtech sector. It will be particularly relevant for those responsible for supplier qualification, audit readiness, ISO 13485 compliance, MDR/IVDR compliance, change control, procurement quality and supply continuity.
