Keynote Presentation
Seeing the “Bends in the Road”; Surviving during a Time of Transformative
Structural Change for MedTech and MedTech Professionals
Thomas Loarie, Executive Chairman, eMedonline
Digital and communications technologies are feeding an increasingly faster rate-of-
change, causing transformative structural changes in the global economy. The U.S. Medical
Device industry is not immune. Commoditization, revolutionary changes in the delivery and
payment of healthcare, increasing government interference limiting innovation, an aging
global population, and the threat of aggressive new market entrants threaten its global
leadership role in a growing global healthcare market are challenging all incumbents. The
victors will be those who create change by immersing themselves in the ambiguities of
the external environment, sort through them before things are settled and known, set a
path, and steer the organizations decisively into it. In his talk, Tom will examine trends and
bends in the road; then extrapolate insights for the medical device professional on how to
survive and thrive during this tumultuous period of change and opportunity. He will also
provide insights gained over thirteen years while assisting over one thousand executives,
managers, and professionals who have chosen to reinvent themselves to make better use
of their gifts in response to the changing landscape.
Keynote Presentation
Talent Acquisition, Development and Retention– Preparing for a Short-Term
Workforce While Driving Toward Longevity Using Organizational Structure,
Exposure, and Transparency
Jesse Freeman, Director of Operations, Biomet Microfixation
Ryan Luby, Director of Product Development, Biomet Microfixation
In business today, a management and salaried staff tenure of three to four years is
not uncommon. This presentation will address methodologies to mitigate the effects
of short tenured staff and discuss topics fundamental to keeping a wide range of
employees engaged and employed for a longer period of time. Key topics will include:
• Diversifying your talent pool during acquisition and onboarding
• Redefining the development/retention viewpoint using customer-oriented metrics
and methodologies
• Handling a workforce tenure of three to four years
• Driving toward longevity
• Poor and complimentary business lifecycle organizational and communication
structure
• The role of business and managerial transparency
Presentation
Contract Manufacturing and Developing Leadership
Robert Berger, Vice President, Contract Manufacturing, Covidien
The vast majority of our contract manufacturing partners are smaller companies
with limited exposure to medical devices. Using a wide variety of examples, this
presentation offers insight into our points of focus on improving Quality, Service,
and Risk Management with these partners. The critical importance of Leadership on
the shop floor is examined and approaches for its development are outlined. The
discussion then focuses on how we integrate our manufacturing partners with our
design groups that are located in emerging markets. The presentation closes with
an inside look at how we manage our contract manufacturing partners who provide
disposable medical devices.

Presentation
The Marriage of Lean and MES in Medical Device Manufacturing
James Robinson, Vice President, Operations, Advanced Bionics
Focusing precious resources, managing change, and delivering on
company goals is always a challenging task. Add the requirements
of a Class 3 Medical Device environment and it is even tougher.
The goal is to use Lean and MES together as one tool to achieve
Productivity Gains while maintaining compliance and the highest
levels of Quality for products. In this presentation, James Robinson
will share the approaches used and the learnings that went into
them. Topics covered will include:
• Aligning the fundamentals of Lean with the Basics of MES
• Integrating Lean/MES into a Class 3 Medical Device
Manufacturing Environment
• How the processes have taken root and grown
Panel Discussion
Balancing Innovation and Regulatory Standards: Best Tactics
to Encourage Brilliance
Moderator: David Eaker, Vice President Corporate Preclinical
Development and Toxicology, Becton Dickinson
Robert Di Tuillo, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs, Applied Biocode
Jay Sangvhi, Director of Supply Chain Management, Medivators
Many medical device companies are facing innovation restrictions
due to strict regulatory compliance codes. Innovation is crucial
to remaining ahead of the competition and competing devices.
Often times, bright and talented people are becoming uninspired
due to compliance squashing innovation. While there is a need
for regulatory standards, one needs to find a happy medium. How
do companies encourage the spirit of innovation in a regulated
environment? This panel will touch on:
• Developing best tactics for encouraging innovation while
remaining compliant
• Exploring the regulatory standards in design
• Uncovering the best solutions while discussing lessons learned
Interactive Roundtable Discussion
Employing an Effective Risk Management Process from
Cradle-to-Grave Spanning Design, Development, and Post-
Market Surveillance
Robert Di Tullio, Vice President, Regulatory Affairs, Applied Biocode
In the highly competitive and regulated world of medical devices,
a manufacturer must realize continuous quality improvement
in order to remain relevant. One cornerstone of a strong Quality
Management System is an effective Risk Management program.
Effective Risk Management not only is vital to regulatory
compliance but is an essential good business practice that helps
companies to realize increased revenues and decreased costs.
Project Priorities: Cross Functional Alignment
Completion of a project requires cross functional engagement and
alignment. How well the organization balances conflicting goals across
the functions determines the project outcome. Developing a common
goal and vision is essential to help team members understand
the business priorities. In this roundtable, we will explore the best
strategies to:
• Develop a common goal and vision the functions can support
• Set priorities based on the business strategies as opposed to
opinions
• Balance different functional goals yet remain aligned on the
business needs
Presentation
Strategic Profit Management – A Strategic and Structured
Approach to Identifying and Executing Profit / Value
Improvement Projects
Sam Mawley, Senior Director – Operations, Edwards
Lifesciences
As price pressures increase medical device makers need to find
ways to preserve/improve gross margins by strategically reducing
cost, while delivering what customers value. This presentation will
focus on:
• Strategic planning that includes cost reduction/value
improvement objectives
• Cost reduction/value improvement project identification and
vetting processes
• Operating mechanisms that include: tracking &
countermeasure mechanisms
• Project management -- skill building and infrastructure
• Execution & value attainment management
• Ongoing project pipeline management
Project Management in Medical Device Product Development
Claudio Simon, High-End Ultrasound R&D Director, Philips
Healthcare
The development of new medical devices often takes multiple
years and the development can often contribute to a significant
portion of the cost of the device. One of the key enablers
to their success is proper leverage of Project Management
techniques. These include a systematic approach to planning
and managing scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources,
communications, risk, procurement and stakeholders. In this
roundtable we will share real-life examples of best practices on
how to implement these techniques.
