Lead quality disqualification and exit decisions for persistently non-compliant partners.
  • Batch Disposition & Product Quality - Ensure timely, compliant review and disposition of externally manufactured batches against approved specifications and registered processes. Oversee review of executed batch records, CoAs, and release testing performed at contract laboratories. Ensure Annual Product Reviews incorporate complete and accurate CMO data and drive actions from trends. Oversee stability program commitments, OOS/OOT trending, and product quality complaints for externally manufactured products.
  • Deviations, Investigations & CAPA - Ensure deviations, OOS/OOT results, and complaints at partner sites are investigated thoroughly and in a timely manner.

Approve CAPAs and verify effectiveness; identify recurring issues across partners and drive network-wide preventive actions. Lead quality assessments for field alerts, recalls, and market actions involving external products.
  • Change Control & Regulatory Alignment - Govern partner-initiated and Amneal-initiated changes through change control, including product impact and regulatory reportability assessments. Partner with Regulatory Affairs to ensure changes are filed appropriately (CBE-0, CBE-30, PAS, annual report) and that partner operations remain aligned with approved ANDAs/NDAs.
