A successful supply chain is only as good as its quality systems.  Quality is not simply a support service but rather an integral component of the supply chain. This is true whether the manufacturing is to fuel your clinical trials or your sales force.  Robust quality systems must be fine-tuned to maintain the assurance of the quality of the products for the customers (patients) but also be attentive to the needs of the other customers (sales, clinical development and regulatory agencies).  As products move through the pipeline, our knowledge increases along with our experience.  Our quality requirements must adjust in harmony to the changing environment.
