Human error remains a critical challenge in medical device manufacturing, where precision and compliance are non-negotiable.

Mistakes during production or quality assurance can lead to product defects, costly recalls, and even patient safety risks.

With regulatory agencies like the FDA and global standards such as ISO 13485 enforcing stringent quality requirements, manufacturers must address human error proactively. Yet, the high-pressure nature of manufacturing environments often exacerbates these issues, making it essential to understand and mitigate the root causes of errors.

This 90-minute training offers a comprehensive approach to reducing human error through a blend of people-focused strategies and technological solutions. Attendees will gain insights into the key factors contributing to errors, such as inadequate training, fatigue, and unclear procedures. Practical solutions will be explored, including:

• • Workforce development programs to enhance skills and reduce mistakes.
  • Process standardization to create consistent workflows.
  • Error-proofing techniques that minimize risk at every stage.

Participants will also learn to evaluate and redesign processes to make them more intuitive and error-resistant, ensuring product quality and regulatory compliance.

The course emphasizes the transformative role of technology in minimizing errors. Topics include:

• • Automation to streamline tasks and reduce manual errors.
  • Intuitive human-machine interfaces (HMIs) for enhanced usability.
  • Real-time monitoring systems to detect and correct issues promptly.

Finally, attendees will explore how to build a culture of continuous improvement, where employees feel empowered to identify risks and refine processes. By implementing these strategies, participants will be equipped to drive meaningful change, improving efficiency, compliance, and patient safety in their manufacturing operations.

Key Benefits of Attending:

• • Understand the root causes of human error in medical device manufacturing.
  • Learn actionable strategies to minimize errors and ensure regulatory compliance.
  • Discover the latest tools and technologies to enhance manufacturing reliability.
  • Foster a culture of continuous improvement for long-term success.
