Design Visionaries' Seminar Details PLM for Medical Product Design

    /24-7PressRelease/ - SAN JOSE, CA, October 06, 2006 - "Better, Cheaper, Faster-Medical Product Design Through Product Lifecycle Management-based Global Collaboration" is a one-of-a-kind, high-impact seminar taking place November 10, 2006 in San Jose, California, that will detail methods and tools that integrate the latest technologies to increase speed, efficiency and overall vision through product lifecycle management. FDA compliance is one of the many special challenges of medical product design. How do you capture the design history, the voice of the customer and the design in such a way that the entire part history is captured?

The seminar, put on by Design Visionaries, was created, and is led, by regulatory/quality system compliance and PLM experts specifically for those who want to sharpen their skills, approaches and methods to help their company move into PLM-based global collaboration with confidence. There will be in-depth discussions and demonstrations regarding how to achieve the goals of medical device manufacturers. What will be covered: Overview of PLM; Management of BOM, suppliers, quality records, etc. from a single, globally accessible location; Global collaboration on quality system processes (Design Control, Management Review, Document Control, Design Review, Adverse Event Reporting, CAPA/Complaints, Recalls, etc.); FDA's 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance; Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance; RoHS/Weee/AB2202 Compliance.

Attendees will learn about the compelling speed, efficiency and cost benefits to be realized with product lifecycle management (PLM). Attending this seminar can help a company achieve global collaboration, a reduced workforce, faster time to market, integration of legacy data, increased capacity, efficient regulatory inspections, improved product quality, and faster and higher quality regulatory submissions.
