Medical device manufacturing requires various levels of skilled operators. Successful and efficient training programs, compliant with ISO 13485:2016, utilize a risk-based approach to implement and verify effectiveness of training, yet many training programs fail to incorporate ongoing monitoring of the training program’s effectiveness. This is critical when it comes to lowering the risk of manufacturing activities including assembly, in-process testing, including quality control activities such as inspection and release of product, etc. Various training methods are commonly deployed such as read and understand and on-the-job training, while the associated methods commonly used to measure effectiveness are quizzes and trainer approval of on-the-job training completion of given activities, respectively. Although these training effectiveness measurements can be effective, their level of effectiveness is likely unknown without routine monitoring. We will discuss ways to track and trend effectiveness of the training program used within a manufacturing site. In addition, we will discuss methods to evaluate training to verify implementation effectiveness.
This webinar will be co-hosted by Patricia Santos-Serrao, RAC MasterControl Senior Director of Product Management.
