Athyrion manages the full supplier lifecycle — qualification, risk classification, monitoring, audits, quality actions, and reevaluation — from a single supplier profile connected to the rest of your quality system.
The quality problem
Adding a supplier to an approved list says they cleared an initial bar. It doesn’t say how they’re performing now, when they’re due for reevaluation, what quality issues are open, or whether their risk classification still fits. Supplier oversight is ongoing work.
Suppliers are added but rarely reevaluated, downgraded, or removed.
Performance problems don’t feed back into how closely a supplier is monitored.
Next-audit-due dates and expiring certifications live in someone’s spreadsheet.
SCARs and complaints about a supplier aren’t visible on the supplier record.
