Improving IVD product development processes
by
Dan Olivier and Marta Chase
The IVD industry is rapidly evolving. Technology advances are visible in enhanced hardware performance, increased software functionality, and more sophisticated technological knowledge of the cause of diseases. Expanding regulatory requirements are seen in increasingly complex submission requirements for foreign markets. To keep pace with these changes, IVD manufacturers must continuously refine development plans and enhance development and manufacturing processes.
To stay competitive, manufacturers must continuously strive to shorten their new product development cycles and reduce manufacturing costs while achieving excellent customer service. The companies that have been successful with these methods focus on continuous improvement based on their experience, customer feedback, and internal measures.
