Collaboration Challenges
Manufacturers in the medical device industry face numerous challenges in meeting the demands of a fast-paced and heavily regulated market. One of the most significant issues is the reliance on disconnected systems throughout the design, engineering and manufacturing processes. This fragmentation increases the risk of errors, rework, delays and complicating product development. In addition, the need to quickly adapt to changing regulatory requirements and address supply chain disruptions puts additional pressure on traditional product development methods, such as using a standalone Bill of Materials (BOM). These methods are increasingly inadequate for managing the complexities of modern, multi-disciplinary products.
