Enabling HealthTech Manufacturing's Present and Future
The need for healthtech innovation is urgent. The solutions that medical OEMs are developing today will play critical roles in combating the global crisis of chronic diseases that cause healthcare costs to continue rising and leave populations more vulnerable to acute health emergencies.
But skipping a comprehensive design analysis in the rush to begin production too often leads to costly delays, or worse, product malfunction or failure in the field.
OEMs should consider the product design process as a key component in their overall risk mitigation strategy. Prioritizing Design for Manufacturability, Design for Supply Chain, and Design for Quality will enable the manufacturer to strike the right balance of speed to market with scalability, cost and the highest level of quality that any product designed to improve a person’s health must achieve.
For more than 25 years, Celestica has helped its customers across multiple high-volume industries design, test, build and deliver their products to market. The medical device sector is growing as more early-stage companies unveil their innovative product designs and prepare to begin manufacturing in low volumes.
Celestica has developed a Design for Manufacturability playbook to help these companies, in particular early stage, identify common pitfalls or mistakes that make a design more difficult to produce at high volumes. Celestica has the technology to manage all product design testing documentation, all necessary testing, and certification protocols and systems in place at our facilities around the world.
Celestica also works with a number of large multinational manufacturers who have a good understanding of the front-end of product development. They know what they need in a partner to augment their teams or get to market more quickly. These qualities make them an invaluable partner in helping companies scale quickly when needed or collaborate to lower product development risk so that OEMs internal teams can prioritize innovation.
Customers partner with Celestica to help them turn their visions for new products into reality to meet market or patient demand. Helping OEMs achieve cost and delivery targets, ensure regulatory compliance, and manufacture at the desired scale to stay in lockstep with company growth.
