Design Inputs Design Outputs Traceability Matrix - Principles of Lean Documents and Lean Configuration

Why Should You Attend:

If you are constantly struggling to create, manage, and maintain all of the information found in design inputs, design outputs, and traceability matrices, all of which are often redundant, repetitive, and clustered together in an awkward manner, this webinar is something that will give you a different perspective and a very different approach that you can use.

If your design and manufacturing resources are spending too much time on documentation and not enough time on actual design and manufacturing, you as a manager need to be looking for ways to simplify their work.

This webinar will present a new approach that is based on solid principles and proven practices to comply with design control requirements.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• Brief introduction to Lean Documents and Lean Configuration
• Quality System Regulation, 21 CFR Part 820, and ISO 13485 as these apply to design control documents
• Traceability Matrix
• Applying lean document and lean configuration principles to the above
• Bringing it all together

Who Will Benefit:

This webinar will provide valuable assistance to Managers, Supervisors, Directors, and Vice-Presidents in the areas of:

• R&D
• Manufacturing Engineering
• Design Assurance
• Quality Assurance
• Operations
• Document Control

Topic Background:

Design controls involve the translation of user requirements (aka Voice of the Customer) into specific technical requirements as design inputs. These design inputs then form the basis of the design specification, which becomes the design output. Since design controls requires tracing backwards and forwards in order to link the requirements to their satisfaction, a problem faced by many companies is in having to maintain duplicate information across many controlled documents. This repetition is a major source of inconsistencies and errors.
