Every device manufactured is the result of 1,000s or more prior decisions and processes. And each of those decisions and processes needs to be documented. Not to mention be indexed, stored and ready for review at a moment’s notice.
From the minute engineers have a new idea; manufacturers start down a path of potential complexity. A journey of balancing costs, quality, safety, regulatory compliance and profit. This was the case at one major medical technology company.
Innovative companies, like the one featured in the case study, are achieving accelerated device development with integrated Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platforms. Streamline processes resulting in improved product quality and operational efficiencies.
On April 27th, some proven ideas on how to not only manufacture products more efficiently, but more importantly boost product quality, increase innovation, speed time to market and improve patient safety will presented in a 60-minute webinar.
PLM, properly executed, builds a culture of innovation and quality. Not just baseline quality, but enhanced quality.
Join David Wolf, Program Director, Medical Device Strategy, PTC, Dave Hadfield, Senior Manager, Kalypso and Daniel Matlis, President, Axendia on April 27th from 12:30-1:30 PM EDT when they’ll discuss how focusing on quality pays dividends for devicemakers.
In 60-minutes attendees will learn more about PLM and how innovative companies are using it to:
• Accelerate product innovation
• Manage risk to drive the safety and quality of products and processes through QMS per ISO 13485:2016
• Improve the measurement of quality metrics and head off problems before they start
• Lower total quality cost, improve budgeting and accelerate profits
• Shift the focus from meeting regs to building quality into the processes
• Jump ahead of the FDA and EU drives for quality
• Achieve a preventative manufacturing model with an agreed risk-benefit framework
• Improve sales and reimbursement when and prove to regulatory agencies that quality made devices improve patient outcomes
Register today and see how innovative companies using PLM are significantly business advantages.
