getting fired and other blessings.

The most successful medical device manufacturers steadfastly focus on their people, their process, their projects, and their performance. Each of these separate key components – when strategically aligned – contribute to the development and sustainability of a healthy, integrity-based, profitable organization with exceptional lead-by-example managers, a loyal client base, collaborative teams of valued employees, and quality products delivered to market under budget and ahead of schedule.

While consistently achieving this level of operation – from product development through market delivery – may seem ideal, impossible to attain, or a fluke, quite the opposite is the reality today. Achieving (and sustaining) this archetype in manufacturing is doable. In fact, it is not only doable, but also necessary. In order to establish and maintain a highly-respected, profit-generating, and preferred presence in the product-based medical device industry, it is imperative that you work towards achieving (and maintaining) this high standard.

Whether or not you choose to take the integral steps necessary to align your company’s people, processes, projects, and performance profoundly affects every aspect of your business. From low-employee turnover rates, error-free and streamlined processes, and quality-centric product development lifecycles, to high employee performance levels in every facet of your company’s operations – implementing a model of human performance elevation is the compass to profitability and success in your highly-competitive industry.

On the other hand, choosing to have your manufacturing plant function at its status quo, or by trying to change or improve just one segment of the aforementioned philosophy cannot lead to a long-standing level of profitability. Putting a Band-Aid on a wound (without first looking at it, assessing what needs to be done, removing the irritants, and treating it with the most effective solution) may cover it up for a while and not demand your immediate attention or concern, but – if left to fester, will become worse and demand even more time, resources, and unease than was ever imagined. The same is true in medical device manufacturing. For long-term, sustainable results for your company, to position it a step ahead of the competition, and to make it the consistently preferred manufacturer of choice in the market, it is imperative to recognize, assess, improve upon, and carefully handle all the individual aspects of your business – the people who physically do the work, the processes they embrace to do it, the quality of projects completed, and the overall performance levels of everyone involved.

While it is critical to align all four components so that they work in sync to (happily) produce the desired results, it’s also important to note that these same individual parts of the philosophy do not (and cannot) function alone. An organization as a whole cannot exist without its parts. The aesthetically-appealing architectural magnum opus that was once a thriving business on the corner of a busy intersection is reduced to an empty shell of brick and mortar without its staff, its leaders, its customers, its products, and its creative energy electrifying and connecting the circuits throughout its various departments. The moments, the things, the experiences, and the interactions that shape people’s daily lives occur within the contributive oneness of it all—within, beneath, and because of the larger systemic process of it all.

The People Component. Of all the integral ingredients that contribute to your company and enable it to function (and compete) in the medical device manufacturing industry, the most important one is the human being. Elevating each employee’s performance to a level that not only increases productivity, reduces errors and waste, produces desired project outcomes, and increases profitability, but also (and perhaps more importantly) inspires employees to take pride in their work and feel that their individual contribution to the completion of a project is significant and appreciated, can be attained by following this business philosophy.
