Description:
The Theory of Lean Documents is the product of applying lean principles to the creation, design, process, and management of controlled documents typically found in regulated industries. Just as lean principles challenge traditional process concepts and "push" systems, many traditional document practices are artifacts of a flawed approach. Lean documents presents a fresh departure from these practices, while building upon proven principles. Lean configuration comes from the same principles, utilizing the unique power of software solutions to take over functions that had previously burdened controlled "paper" documents.
Why should you attend:
Medical Device managers, engineers, QA personnel, as well as lean program leaders.
Do you find yourself constantly struggling to create, manage, and maintain all of the information found in DHFs, DMRs, and DHRs - which is often redundant, repetitive, and chained together in a cumbersome way? Do you find that your design and manufacturing resources are spending way too much time on documentation and not enough on engineering and design? This webinar presents a fresh new approach based upon solid principles and proven practices - as well as an alternative that avoids many of the pitfalls of traditional ways of preparing these documents.
Areas Covered in the Session:
1.Brief introduction to Lean Documents and Lean Configuration
2.Quality System Regulation, 21 CFR Part 820, and ISO 13485 as it applies to Corrective and Preventive Action
3.Alignment of the Six Sigma DMAIC approach to CAPA
4.Applying lean principles to documenting and tracking non-conformances
5.Applying lean principles to investigating and resolving non-conformances
6.Applying lean principles to instituting corrective and preventive actions
Who Will Benefit:
Managers, Supervisors, Directors, and Vice-Presidents in the areas of:
1.R&D
2.Manufacturing Engineering
3.Design Assurance
4.Quality Assurance
5.Operations
6.Document Control
About Speaker:
José Mora is a Principal Consultant and Project Manager specializing in Manufacturing Engineering, Quality Systems, and Lean Transformations. José is a recognized subject matter expert in process validation, lean manufacturing, lean controlled document systems, startup operations, process development and quality systems, having lectured internationally and presented webinars on these subjects.For over 30 years he has worked in the life sciences in positions ranging from Senior Engineer and Project Manager to Vice-President, specializing in manufacturing, process development, tooling, and quality systems. His medical device experience includes surgical instruments, PTA & PTCA dilatation and guiding catheters, plastic surgery implants and tissue expanders, urology implants and devices for the treatment of incontinence, delivery systems for brachytherapy, orthopaedic implants and instruments, and vascular surgery grafts and textiles.
Wherever he has worked, Jose has a track record of introducing world-class methodologies such as Kepner-Tregoe, Taguchi techniques, Theory of Constraints, Lean Manufacturing, Five S (Visual Workplace), process validation to Global Harmonization Task Force standards, and similar approaches. He has implemented various good manufacturing practices like JIT, kanban systems, visual workplace and lean manufacturing practices. Jose has also published a white paper on the application of lean manufacturing methods to the creation and management of controlled documents and a template for strategic deployment.
