Voice of the Customer: The First Step in Human Factors Engineering

is being presented by Maria Shepherd, Principal, with Data Decision Group and airs on Tuesday, January 17th, 2012. For more details, or to register please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com

The medical device industry faces a unique challenge; R&D professionals develop products but rarely get a chance to use them, while quality departments lack the data to translate customer needs and marketing specifications into technical requirements and metrics. To compound the issue, FDA will soon have its final HFE Guidance in place, and all device products and companies will have to comply.

Voice of the Customer (VOC) allows device manufacturers to immerse product design teams in the customer’s culture and environment, and this audio conference presentation looks at how to use the VOC process to collect and analyze customer data and integrate it into the design process. Attendees learn how to develop market surveys and other tools to assess the needs of customers, and how to define and categorize customer issues with products. Our speaker discusses the relationship between VOC and HFE principles, and shares critical techniques for new product and product improvement initiatives.

Advanced Human Factors Engineering

is being presented by Maria Shepherd, Principal, with Data Decision Group and airs on Thursday, November 17th, 2011. For more details or to register, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com

FDA's expectations are changing. Medical manufacturers are required by FDA and other global regulatory bodies to prove that human factors considerations have been met during product design and development. FDA takes these human factors requirements seriously, requiring that the manufacturer perform a systematic assessment of the intended user(s), how the device will be used, the environment in which it will be used, and existing use-related hazards.

This audio conference presentation reviews guidance documents issued by FDA regarding its human factors initiative. The speaker also presents several examples of a human factors engineering project, including templates that have been designed to assist in the process of usability testing in the medical industry.
