Global competition is accelerating the pace of innovation and development of complex electronics systems, while forcing down price to consumers. Product life cycles are shrinking, shortening the time required for new products to ramp to volume production, while trying to ensure highest quality to avoid brand erosion. As Brand Owners look to reduce manufacturing costs and focus on core competencies, outsourcing (be it domestic or offshore) all or part of manufacturing has become an imperative. New challenges are in play for many Brand Owners: Retaining control of product quality which has often been “transferred” to the contract manufacturer. To retain control, leading manufacturers are taking a holistic view of their manufacturing supply chain and turning to cloud computing technologies to ensure real-time multi-tier supply chain visibility while fostering an ongoing collaboration with suppliers.

In this seminar, experts will address global manufacturing strategies that have proven results improving product quality while reducing costs. The speakers will share best practices from industry leaders who have successfully implemented collaborative, state-of-the-art solutions with their suppliers and contract manufacturers and achieved results in cost and quality.

The MEDTEC Europe Conference is part of the biggest annual event for medical device manufacturers. Senior medical device professionals will come together to learn about and discuss best practice in product development, regulation and market access of devices.

Don't miss Camstar's session: "Paperless Shop-Floor Control & Visibility: Best Practices for Paperless Manufacturing and Electronic Device History Records (eDHR) for Complex, High-Risk Medical Device Manufacturing"

Abstract
Medical Device Manufacturing organizations are faced with a multi-tiered challenge: efficiently manufacture a high quality, safe and effective medical device at a competitive cost while simultaneously mitigating shop floor disruptions associated with introducing new products, product improvements, and process improvements. This must be achieved while maintaining compliance with strict regulatory requirements. Attaining these goals with manual, paper-based manufacturing processes, or with legacy home-grown shop-floor systems, adds layers of unnecessary overhead, costs and waste and exposes manufacturers of complex, high-risk medical devices to significant risk. Learn how leading global medical device manufacturers are thriving against these challenges with the use of Manufacturing Execution and eDHR technology in both manual and automated processes.

In this session, you will hear case studies on how your Medical Device peers are leveraging state-of-the art manufacturing execution technology to:

• Rapidly lean processes with a “self-auditing eDHR” to accelerate manufacturing velocity
• Reduce risks associated with manual, paper-based manufacturing control, visibility and DHR systems
• Enable Operational Excellence with “systemic poke-a-yoke” and Global Visibility into granular product/process performance metrics
• Significantly improve Product Quality while mitigating Scrap, Product Quality Incidents, Non-Conformances, CAPAs, and even Recalls associated with preventable mistakes
