Medical OEMs Can Achieve Commercial Manufacturing Efficiency
Medical device manufacturers struggle to achieve the efficiency of high volume commercial manufacturers while adhering to stringent regulatory quality and traceability requirements. This presentation will demonstrate how to implement an automated manufacturing process control system that meets and surpasses ISO 13485 and FDA requirements in a lean manufacturing environment. With limited modifications to commercially available software, manufacturers can recognize benefits including: expedited new product introduction (NPI); reduced production costs; improved operating efficiency; and increased quality & traceability.
Presenter: Luis Alvarez, Vice President of OperationsDTx Inc.
Responsible for overseeing and managing all operations, production, manufacturing engineering, and product introduction activities. Luis holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Florida Institute of Technology and a Master in Business Administration degree from Centenary College.
In 2005, Luis Alvarez lead the implementation of DTx’s proprietary Production Control and Traceability Software (PCTS) program in support of DTx’s award of ISO 13485 in 2007. DTx is an Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) specializing in the unique needs of Medical device manufacturers.
