Improving Quality, Efficiency and Compliance with Paperless Manufacturing through eDHR and eBR Systems

March 7 – 8, 2012
Irvine, CA

Whether you are a multi-billion dollar orthopedic manufacturer, a mid-sized cardiovascular manufacturer or a start-up home diagnostic manufacturer, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) or eDHR/eBR solutions can help you improve product quality while significantly reducing your operational costs and regulatory risks.

Hear outstanding speakers from Alere, Boston Scientific, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Camstar, Covidien, Dexcom, Gartner, Illumina, Roche Diagnostics, Sorin Group.

Learn directly from your industry peers how they have successfully deployed and expanded their MES. Hear first-hand their strategies and techniques to:

• Create and extend the business case and ROI for MES
• Prepare for change management
• Use MES to support business decisions
• Enable lean operations with removal of paperwork, prevention of errors (poke-a-yoke), reduction of nonconformances and scrap, self-auditing eDHR/eBR, and more
• Enable a smooth MES deployment and cutover
• Simplify compliance with global regulatory GMPs and FDA Title 21 Part 11
• Standardize globally for consistent quality.

Karim Lokas, VP of Product Strategy at Camstar and noted speaker in the industry, is the Forum Chairperson.

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
