Medical device companies are
under increasing pressure to be ready for product commercialization
from the 'get go' by being operationally efficient while being in
compliance with global regulatory agencies. Successful
commercialization requires effective Design Control, Document
Control and Engineering Change processes for product development.
Efficient management of operational processes, e.g. Corrective
Action and Preventive Action (CAPA), Training Management,
Non-Conforming Materials Reporting (NCMR), Equipment Calibration,
Supplier Qualification, etc. is mandatory. Executives need
effective process metrics and trends so that they can measure the
operational effectiveness of their product's commercialization.
In order to develop leading products in the Medical Device
industry, product development organizations must focus on
innovation, not get bogged down with manual or ineffective
automated processes. And, as in other industries, companies must
also meet the challenge to utilize capital effectively. Focusing on
core competencies and partnering for product design and product
manufacturing with other companies can often enable more efficient
and cost-effective design processes, but this environment also
creates a strong need for collaboration both within the enterprise
as well as throughout the supply chain.
Areas that are of serious concern to medical device companies
during the product development process are:
- DMR Change Tracking
- Design Revision Tracking
- Synchronization of Product Information (i.e. Product
Requirements, Design Specifications, Assembly Procedures,
Validation Protocols, etc.)
- Real Time Collaboration between Design, Engineering &
Manufacturing
- Managing Standard Operating Procedures and Training
- Managing the Product Life Cycle from Conception to
Obsolescence
