Many medical device companies today have multiple design and development sites performing globally but operating in separate quality management systems (QMS) for product-related processes such as design, manufacturing, distribution, and service. To improve efficiency, consistency, and ease of information transfer, companies should move to harmonizing these systems in one global QMS.

This audio conference discusses ways in which for medical device companies can establish and manage an effective global QMS. Drawing on the results of a research benchmark study involving leading medical device manufacturers, this session looks at how companies are optimizing QMS processes to deliver business benefits and measure quality performance globally.
