Medical Device - QSR Compliant Product Development Process

Medical Device - QSR Compliant Product Development Process To be held on 23th to 24th Jan 2014 at San Francisco, CA

 Course Description:

 Integrating the requirements of 21 CFR 820 into a product development process is challenging. Done poorly, it drags down the design process and puts you at risk. Done well, it delivers quality products, resource efficiencies and compliance that are easily demonstrated to the FDA.

 You can’t afford to be in a position where either design controls or the product development process are weak. Design controls are essential to safety and effectiveness. The FDA reports ineffective design controls are the root cause of as many as 31% of recalls. Ineffective product development processes are slow, costly and often miss significant business objectives.

 This seminar on quality system regulations for medical devices market will show you how to build a best practice stage gate product development process that not just incorporates 21 CFR 820 design controls but keeps you ahead of the competition and easily shows compliance during an audit. The process showcased in this course will also fulfill QSR requirements, produce the objective evidence necessary to prove compliance, manage resources and deliver quality products.

 Learning Objectives:
 The seminar will focus on understanding:
 The key elements of 21 CFR 820 design controls
 Best practice stage gate product development
 How 21 CFR 820 design controls can be integrated into a stage gate product development process
 How to link to intended use, user needs, risk management and manufacturing processes
 How to manage both new product development and design changes
 How to manage marketing, costs and schedule requirements in parallel with the regulatory processes
 How to systematically create the required objective evidence and how to easily produce it during an audit

2 day Training on Fraud and Risk (Self) Assessments Using Process Mapping and Documentation, Questionnaires and Root Cause Analysis

2 day Training on Fraud and Risk (Self) Assessments To be held on 4th to 5th Dec 2013 at Dubai, UAE

 “In any business endeavor, if you don’t know exactly what to do or how to do something, it gets complicated really fast- and you waste a lot of time and money.”Joan Pastor, PhD
 A number of different approaches to risk assessment have been developed, yet companies face challenges in deciding which approach to take: a method that brings benefits to one may not be good enough for another. An important part of assessing risk and the effectiveness of controls is knowing exactly how to maximize the power of business, strategic, IT, operation, financial, assurance, tangible and intangible processes. Efficient and effective processes are the lifeblood of an organization. Research shows that 95% of people in any organization want to do well, but 95% of the processes in an organization are the key cause for an organization’s failure due to certain specific bad risks and deliberate fraud and wrongdoing.

 This concrete, hands-on, applications-focused two day program has consistently been one of the most popular courses in the world for the audit, risk management and finance professions or anyone who is trying to gather, prioritize and analyze the real threats to the business, and controls that will really work. Dr. Joan Pastor collaborated originally with several large telephone companies in the US to develop this course, and it has been continually updated as issues related to Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC), Fraud, ERM and Risk Assessment, and the impact of IT to organizational systems evolve. There are a number of things that will make this course extremely useful and very different from any other training you have had in this area so far. These include:

 Focusing on getting the information from all levels of the workforce. In other words, from your Executive Committee and Board of Directors to any function in your organization, the information- and the analysis and decisions- will come from them, not you. Of course, you will actually have a strong influence, but in such a way that they will welcome your input and want your expertise.
 Learning how to conduct Fraud and Risk Organizational Assessments (FROA) at the executive and/or management levels (usually your most resistant people) of your organization and vastly increasing your influence with these people;
 Teaching the elusive concepts of risk, controls, residual risk, root cause analysis and so much more in such a concrete and easy to understand way that your clients finally completely understand it, really and truly understands how this information is great value to their own work, and want to tell you real (potential) risks and fraud;
 How to design and use questionnaires (and when NOT to use them) so that you get accurate information you can apply in numerous ways;
 Learning hundreds of strategies for influencing others, gaining “buy-in” to changes your clients need to make and for developing a truly collaborative relationship. You can, and will, be able to change what is often an adversarial relationship (or a disinterested party) into a true working relationship that benefits the whole company.
