In New Video, VP Quality and Operations Reveals How Company is Turning FDA Initiatives into Impetus for Higher Product Quality, Growth and Profitability
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (January 26, 2012) – Camstar Systems, Inc. announced today that Terumo Cardiovascular Systems (CVS), a leading manufacturer of medical devices for cardiac and vascular surgery with an emphasis on cardiopulmonary bypass, intra–operative monitoring and vascular grafting, has deployed the Camstar Enterprise Platform – including Manufacturing Execution, Quality Management and CAPA – to enable its closed-loop approach to product quality. The initiative has helped the company increase productivity and output while it reduced:
- Production nonconformances (NCRs) and process issues by 41%
- Workmanship complaints by 65%
- Overall complaints (CPMs) by 58%
In a new video and in a live webcast, Mark Lincoln, Vice President of Quality and Operations for Terumo CVS, describes how the adoption of this closed-loop approach – rather than focusing only on their traditional compliance-focused processes – drives more business value from good quality processes, early detection and prevention of issues, the visibility to quickly find and correct root causes, and enforcement to drive consistency across all plants.
