I haven’t had the opportunity to work in industry yet, but if I could choose one of the nine parts of design controls to focus on I would choose design validation. Having a product that is ready for a clinical trial or to be tested out on a cadaver seems very rewarding, especially if everything goes right, and even when things go wrong there is valuable data to be learned about how a product can better meet a users needs. As a second option I would choose design transfer because here you’re taking the project team’s hard work and preparing for production by creating the manufacturing instructions and setting the ground rules for the quality you expect.
