Within industry research the main advantage is the resource and workflow that is in place to deliver finished products. For example, currently my role is that of a Process Engineer and the main task of my group is working in Manufacturing Science Technologies which is to translate research of products into a deliverable product through manufacturing processes and tech transfers to various contract manufacturers within the companies network. This process workflow is key in why industry can successfully launch products from the research phase and in bulk. The time for the medical device industry can vary and is dependent on the product classification assigned and the FDA approval phase. For example, if it is a predicate device then the process of approval will be much quicker than a Class 3 device which will need clinical trials. The successful launch of a product also highly relies on a well organized project plan with team members who are effectively communicating critical information with one another so that deadlines are met and risks are avoided.
