Integrating Risk Management into the Quality System
Presented by Angelo Scangas
Come learn about risk management concepts used throughout the quality system as well as the lifecycle of the product, from design…to manufacturing…through post-production.
Risk Management is intended to be a component of an overall Quality System during all phases of the lifecycle of a product/service. The purpose is to assure that the product/service is designed, manufactured, implemented and distributed in such a manner that the customer receives the safest and best quality product/service possible.
Risk Management recognizes that there is always some degree of risk in the use of a product/service, but the complete and successful integration of risk management in the quality system will result in a low risk product being delivered for use. Previously, companies have considered risk in the design of products through the use of FMEA, but have often failed to completely integrate the results of the risk process in the manufacturing/service and delivery process, and especially in the post-market phases, such as
CAPA.
