SIX-SIGMA AND LEAN MANUFACTURING

Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that relies on a collaborative team effort to improve performance by systematically removing waste; combining lean manufacturing/lean enterprise and Six Sigma to eliminate the eight kinds of waste (Muda): Time, Inventory, Motion, Waiting, Overproduction, Over-processing, Defects, and Skills

Six Sigma seeks to improve the quality of the output of a process by identifying and removing the causes of defects and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes. It uses a set of quality management methods, mainly empirical, statistical methods, and creates a special infrastructure of people within the organization, who are experts in these methods. Each Six Sigma project carried out within an organization follows a defined sequence of steps and has specific value targets, for example: reduce process cycle time, reduce pollution, reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction, and increase profits.

 

STAGE-GATE

A Stage-gate process is a project management technique in which an initiative or project (e.g., new product development, process improvement, business change) is divided into stages or phases, separated by gates. It is is a conceptual and operational roadmap for moving a new project from idea to launch – a blueprint for managing the new-product process to improve effectiveness and efficiency. Stage services provided:

  1. Scoping

  2. Build business case

  3. Development

  4. Testing and validation

  5. Launch

Gates provide various points during the process where an assessment of the quality of an idea is undertaken. It includes three main issues:

  • Quality of execution: Checks whether the previous step is executed in a quality fashion.

  • Business rationale: Does the project continue to look like an attractive idea from an economic and business perspective.

  • Action plan: The proposed action plan and the requested resources reasonable and sound.

Apeiro Group can provide services to identify and analyze all the stages and gate progress in any process.

 

Risk Assessment and Management:

It is imperative that Medical device companies MUST have established risk management processes that comply with ISO 14971, regardless of origination or target geographical region for the medical devices.  ISO 14971 is accepted as the risk management standard for the medical device industry by every International regulatory agency that exists.

Apeiro Group has experienced engineers who can perform all parts of the Risk Management Process as defined in ISO 14971:2007, such as:

  • Risk Analysis - Systematic use of available information to identify hazards and to estimate the risk using PFMEA and DFMEA.

  • Risk Evaluation - Deciding which risks are acceptable and which are unacceptable.

  • Risk Control - Reduce and mitigate unacceptable risks.

  • Residual Risk Evaluation - Re-evaluation of the resulting risks after applying Risk Control

  • Risk / Benefit Analysis - Comparison of the medical benefits of the device and the residual risks.

  • Evaluation of Overall Residual Risk Acceptability - Evaluation of the complete medical device and the overall residual risk acceptability.

  • Risk Management Report - Proper documentation of the Risk Assessment and Management process, and report generation

  • Production & Post-Production - Periodic review and re-evaluation of the product after it has exited the development stage

 

Quality Management System:

A quality management system (QMS) is a collection of business processes focused on consistently meeting customer requirements and enhancing their satisfaction. It is expressed as the organizational structure, policies, procedures, processes, and resources needed to implement quality management.

  • ISO 13485 2016 - Medical devices -- Quality management systems -- Requirements for regulatory purposes

  • CAPA - Corrective and Preventive Action

  • The 8D (Eight Disciplines) problem-solving process
