Rapid development for medical products

In today's world, intense international competition, rapidly changing technologies, fragmented and demanding markets, and increasing product complexity, force fast development for all high-technology products. The manufacturers of high-technology products have responded to these pressures, and doubling of development speed is commonplace. Even with the reductions in time-to-market attained thus far, product development speed can be much faster (and companies will do it). Success demands a new organizational mindset and new product development methods. Development speed will intensify in the future for all high-technology products, including medical devices. Companies must continually seek to improve the speed of their product development or be swept aside by their fleet-footed competitors.
