Proliferation of safety regulatory requirements and product
liability has increased challenges for companies who want
to and must comply with all laws, regulations and
standards in any country where they sell their products. It
is not easy task, just to identify the regulation that could
apply to the company’s product and then implement it.
Organizations have thus struggled to holistically design,
test, monitor and comply to meet the appropriate
worldwide standards. If not approached strategically, this
direction can come at a high cost; and in a margin-sensitive
industries, profitability still has a dominant position. The
key is to build a mature and strategic Solution to handle
Global Compliance.

Looking Forward
Compliance to regulatory norms is a law that every company has to adhere. They are
in place and bound to exist. Companies that do not address compliance issues put their
Innovation, Profitability, Growth and Brand Image strategies at risk. The long-term
costs of being unprepared are simply too high. Companies should thus make every effort
to comply with regulatory requirements
Companies must proactively adopt organizational measures to increase the visibility to
compliance issues, adopt policies and processes that encourage compliance to be
embedded into the product at a basic level, and enable designers with technology to
assist in design decisions early in the lifecycle. And finally put together a compliance
infrastructure that supports long-term approach, which can be applied in a repeatable
and sustainable manner to new regulations and new products before an actual crisis
occurs. With right solution design by building automation at critical steps in product
development processes, companions can avoid spending time on manual processes of
monitoring product compliance. Automation framework can provide real-time
dashboard, enabling designers to focus more time and energy on building new
innovation. The key to success and avoiding revenue loss in this new, constantly
evolving regulatory environment is to take a scalable and proactive approach designed
to the unique needs and risks of your business.
Companies planning to manage production regulatory compliance should;
• Establish Standard Operating Procedures in Product development processes
• Build early warning system and compliance visibility report from product
development to end of life stage
• Continuously improve and update the processes
• Setup compliance infrastructure and software solution to ease adherence to
compliance
• Build closed loop procedure
