Rx-360 Announces the Release of the Rx-360 Supplier Assessment Questionnaire
Rx-360 has announced the release of the Rx-360 Supplier Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ). The SAQ was prepared by the Rx-360 Supplier-Led Working Group, an Rx-360 working group consisting of members from both pharmaceutical companies and leading suppliers to the pharmaceutical industry. Through this Working Group, members can share perspectives and work collaboratively to achieve greater harmonisation and efficiencies in the supply chain to better serve patients.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers and industry suppliers recognise the inefficiency and waste of resources when each individual pharmaceutical company creates its own supplier assessment questionnaire. Suppliers routinely exhaust valuable resources continuously completing slightly different forms of substantially similar questionnaires. To create the current Supplier Assessment Questionnaire, the Working Group analysed numerous sample questionnaires submitted by Rx-360 members. In addition to standardised content, document formatting and question completion was optimised for accuracy and ease of completion by suppliers.
The Rx-360 SAQ covers standard information that would be included in most supplier assessment questionnaires. The 4-part questionnaire is more detailed than most, but will decrease the number of times that questionnaires will need to be filled out by the supplier, while significantly decreasing the turn-around time back to manufacturers. The SAQ consists of four (4) modules:
• General Company Information
• Specific Site Information
• Product Supplier Appendix
• Services Supplier Appendix.
The Working Group believes the Rx-360 SAQ will create helpful efficiencies for both suppliers and pharmaceutical manufactures alike by
• Eliminating time-consuming redundancies
• Streamlining the process of approving suppliers
• Allowing comparative analysis of basic information.
The Supplier Led Working Group strongly encourages suppliers and manufacturers to consider adopting this SAQ in standard use. All modules will be available shortly for public download at the Rx-360 website.
The Supplier Led Working Group will be holding a public webinar to introduce the documents on 28 August 2014.
Anyone interested in learning more or considering use of the questionnaires is encouraged to attend. To RSVP, please register through this link: www4.gotomeeting.com/register/163722479.
