Contract Manufacturing for the Medical Industry

August 3, 2018 By meiadmin

The medical industry is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the world. Every year, Americans spend billions of dollars on healthcare. Much of this money is spent on medical devices. These devices are crucial to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of a wide range of conditions and ailments.

The U.S. spends more on healthcare than any other country in the world. In fact, American consumers and healthcare professionals spent approximately $156 billion on medical devices last year. This represents an astounding 40% of the global medical device market.

Meeting Strict Requirements

As demand grows and the market expands, more and more manufacturers are looking to bring their products to market. However, creating medical devices takes a vast knowledge of the industry and its specific requirements.

Companies creating medical devices must follow strict rules and regulations. These regulations are in place to ensure the safety, quality, and accuracy of products produced. Regulations are constantly changing, and manufacturers must keep up to date with these changes in order to remain compliant.

Quality is extremely important when it comes to medical devices. Any issue that could affect performance must be identified and addressed long before it is able to cause a problem. This is why testing throughout production is so important.

Using a Contract Manufacturer

Many companies do not have the people, equipment, or technology needed to produce high quality medical devices. These companies often turn to a qualified contract manufacturer for help. A contract manufacturer produces products under the name or brand of the company that hires them.

Means Engineering Inc. has extensive experience producing products for the medical industry. We have the staff and equipment needed to produce a wide array of high quality medical devices. We provide a variety of services including design, manufacturing, and testing. We work directly with your company to ensure that medical devices are created at the lowest cost and highest quality possible.

Means Engineering is an ISO 13485 certified company. Being ISO 13485 certified ensures design and manufacturing requirements are being met with a standard approach. This helps minimize risk, reduce costs, and ensure the quality and consistency of every product produced.

Why Outsourcing Makes Sense

July 27, 2018 By meiadmin

As technology evolves, consumers demand more options, reliability, and higher quality products than ever before. Many companies struggle to keep up with rising consumer demand. These companies often do not have the money or equipment needed to produce
new products. Unfortunately, without the ability to produce a constant stream of new products, manufacturing companies quickly fall behind their competition.

Keep Up With Demand

Outsourcing helps manufacturing companies produce new products and keep up with changing demands. Working with a qualified contract manufacturer gives these companies access to a wealth of knowledge, experience, as well as state of the art equipment and technologies.

Improve the Quality of Products Produced

A contract manufacturer can help improve the quality of products produced. Our experienced team provides a second set of eyes for design plans. This helps locate any areas that could benefit from improvement. Utilizing a contract manufacturer for design helps cut costs on production, improve the overall quality of products produced, and reduce the amount of time it takes to bring new products to market.

Choosing a Contract Manufacturer

With all of the benefits, it just doesn’t make sense not to outsource. However, it’s crucial that you find a contract manufacturer you can trust. Means Engineering works directly with you throughout the entire manufacturing process. This ensures that all products produced meet your company’s unique specifications and requirements.

Prior to outsourcing, it’s important to determine the needs of your business. Analyze all operations to locate areas that could benefit from improvement. This might include issues such as old technologies, or outdated equipment. Using a contract manufacturer can help you cut costs, reduce time to market, and increase the quality of every product produced.

Means Engineering Inc. has years of experience providing electronic devices and components for a number of industries. Our team is fully trained and able to provide a wide range of services including design, manufacture, and testing of products. Many companies work with us to fulfill periods of high demand. Our services can also be used for new product development.

At Means Engineering, we are committed to quality. We are an ISO 9001, AS 9100, ISO 13485, and ISO 14001 (operating at current revisions) certified contract manufacturer. These certifications ensure the quality and consistency of every product we produce.

Growing Your Business Through New Market Development

July 20, 2018 By meiadmin

Growing Your Business Through New Market Development

As your business grows, you’ll likely realize the limits of your current customer base. This is why it’s so important to expand into new markets. A properly designed growth strategy can help your business succeed.

Producing New Products

Everything changes over time. The same is true for your business market. It’s important to develop new markets and expand your reach before your current market is no longer lucrative.

However, it can be difficult to make the decision to develop new products. New product creation takes a lot of time and resources. This is especially true for companies moving into new markets. In order to develop new products, you need a clear understanding of your target audience. You need to know what they need, and why they need it.

Increasing the Chance of New Market Success

It’s one thing to produce a product, and another to ensure it succeeds once it goes to market. The success of your business is dependent on the strategies and actions you take now to ensure the marketability of new products.

Market analysis is crucial. The information provided through a thorough market analysis can help you determine how new products will perform.

When creating new products, quality and consistency are extremely important. You need to ensure that all of the products you create deliver what you promise. Electronic products should be easy to use and provide consumers with multiple features.

Keep in mind that it’s much better to produce one really good product, than ten sub-par products. High quality products increase consumer trust in your brand and improve your chance of repeat business and referrals.

Cutting Costs on Production

July 6, 2018 By meiadmin

Cutting Costs on Production

Manufacturing companies often find it difficult to keep up with the rising costs of new product creation. This is especially true for companies creating products for demanding markets. With the high price of production facilities, supplies, equipment, staff, and technology, most companies are not able to produce enough new products to remain competitive. Cutting costs is vital to the success of a manufacturing company.

Many companies believe that cutting costs means reducing the quality of products produced. In an effort to produce more products, these companies may cut employee training or use less than ideal supplies or technologies. This can have a negative effect on the way that people view your products.

Consumers today have high expectations of the products they purchase. With more and more people relying on the opinions of others, one bad review could lead to the failure of a company.

Outsourcing is the best way to reduce costs while ensuring the quality of products produced. Working with an experienced contract manufacturer can have numerous benefits for manufacturing companies today.

A contract manufacturer helps cut costs in multiple ways. Companies can use a CM for design, production, and/or testing of products.

Design

A contract manufacturer provides a second set of eyes for design plans. These are typically highly trained and experienced individuals. The right contract manufacturer can review the design and locate areas that could benefit from improvement. This might include cutting out a process or changing the type of material used. An experienced CM knows how to cut costs without affecting quality. In fact, their changes often result in a better product.

Production

A contract manufacturer has the people, equipment, space, and technology needed to produce a wide range of products. By utilizing their services, you eliminate the need to procure these resources yourself. This saves you money and allows you to better allocate your resources and people.

Testing

Testing is crucial to the quality of finished products. Skipping this important step can be detrimental to a manufacturing company’s success. Unfortunately, testing equipment is expensive and can take up a lot of space.

A quality contract manufacturer has the testing equipment and experience necessary to ensure the quality and durability of products produced. This helps increase consumer trust in your brand.
