(Newswire.net — August 15, 2016) Chicago, IL — The global medical products industry is a multi-billion dollar affair, with companies rolling out new devices and systems to address needs of healthcare professionals. The companies that can identify emerging needs and bring new products to market quickly will succeed, while others who do not move quickly will fail, according to noted business professional and process improvement engineer Halden Zimmermann. For many years, Hal has been involved in manufacturing in the medical products industry, and has developed an expertise in the concept of continuous improvement. “Because of the regulatory hurdles involved in bringing new medical products to market, companies must work fast to beat their competitors,” says Halden. “One proven method is to employ multiple development teams.” To learn more about Hal and his work in the field of medical products development, visit http://thehaldenzimmermann.com/.
Having multiple teams working on different products speeds up the process. Rather than putting all of a company’s effort into one new product, the different development teams can ensure a continuous stream of products heading toward the market. One of the other critical ways a company can improve their time-to-market speed is by streamlining all aspects of the development and manufacturing processes. The process improvement concept looks at all parts of the manufacturing operation, even including packaging of products. By streamlining how products are made, costs are kept lower and the finished products can be ready to ship much faster, helping to capitalize on emerging markets around the world.
“Addressing a specific need and moving to fill a gap left by competitors is always a sound medical product development strategy,” adds Halden. “It is of absolute importance that a company studies industry trends, even including what their competitors are doing, in order to bring a solution to market.” Companies have a range of tools at their disposal to learn about these trends, including corporate intelligence strategies as well as by browsing medical journals. “Some of the most successful companies in this field were able to identify new products based solely on new diagnostic and treatment procedures used by physicians,” he says. Doing the background research, improving manufacturing speed, and developing multiple products at once serve to improve the possibility of success in this highly competitive field.
