Why Should You Attend:

Many medical device companies are surprised when they have a recall, a 483, or even a warning letter. To prevent quality and compliance issues, a company needs to have an efficient and effective Quality Management System (QMS) including good metrics and dashboards. Metrics and dashboards can help to proactively and consistently measure the health of the Quality Management System. Metrics are communicated in management review to make informed decisions about the suitability of the QMS. A balanced scorecard can help companies identify the risks and prioritize areas for improvement. Well-developed metrics and scorecards can bring improvement opportunities and actions into focus.

Bad data means bad decisions! Without proactive and timely metrics, a company is blind to the health of its quality system. Without metrics, a company can’t ensure they are meeting the needs of their stakeholders.

This can lead to disaster for the company or, even worse, its customers. Medical device companies face ever increasing scrutiny from the FDA and other regulators. Customers demand quality and safety. The business requires efficient and effective use of resources. And companies need a good set or metrics to meet these stakeholder needs.

Challenges that companies face include:

  • Lack of data
