Refer A Colleague Auto Suppliers Eye Transition to Medical Devices
A group aims to give guidance to auto suppliers and manufacturers to expand into medical device manufacturing.
The Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) developed a new curriculum on how to create a quality management system for medical device manufacturing.
The curriculum introduces manufacturers to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 13485:2003, Medical Devices—Quality management systems—Requirements for regulatory practices. The curriculum includes quality core tools such as measurement system analysis (MSA) and methodologies for problem solving and error proofing.
“Auto suppliers are ideally positioned to capitalize on a transition into a high growth manufacturing area such as medical devices because they have manufacturing and quality improvement know-how,” says J. Scot Sharland, executive director for AIAG.
