simplify supplier assessments using Rx-360’s SAQ
Pharmaceutical manufacturers and industry suppliers recognize 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. In order to create the Rx-360 SAQ, the Supplier Quality Working Group analyzed numerous sample questionnaires submitted by Rx-360 member company delegates.
The Rx-360 SAQ covers standard information that would be included in most supplier assessment questionnaires. The 6-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 Rx-360 SAQ consists of Six (6) modules:
- Module 1: General Company Information
- Module 2: Specific Site Information
- Module 3: Product Information
- Module 4: Services Supplier
- Module 5: Pre-Audit
- Module 6: Single Use Bioprocessing Product
The Rx-360 SAQ creates 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 web-based SAQ offers the following benefits over the downloadable version:
- Only applicable questions are shown
- Answers are pre-validated to ensure less back and forth
- Applicable appendixes are automatically linked
- Digital signatures eases burden on suppliers
- Supports easy migration of answers from prior versions via Import
- Enables comparison of supplier answers over time or across suppliers
- Quarterly updates
- No information is stored on Rx-360 servers, enhancing data security
Rx-360 requests the documents to be used without substantive changes to the text and we ask that companies retain the Rx-360 logo. However, companies using the SAQ are welcome to insert their own company logos in the space provided.
