Hi All,

This is a very interesting discussion so far. I want to look at this situation from a different prospective. If I am a manufacturer that is looking to buy some parts or equipment from a supplier and I have two suppliers that could produce these parts. If one of these suppliers follows GMPs and the other supplier follows no GMP, I would most likely choose the supplier that applies GMPs. One of the main reasons for choosing a supplier that follows GMPs is that GMPs ensure that the quality of the product meets and exceeds expectations at all times. This means that all the supplier processes are in control and no unexpected issues are anticipated. On the other hand, the no GMP supplier will have processes that are not in control and not predictable. This could lead to a compromized part integrity/quality.
