One of the crucial projects going on while I was in my co-op was to manufacture the knee implant. The project manager had broken down in several phases including validation, testing, cleaning, and packaging. This was the first time for us making a knee implant for a specific customer. As we received the material, we first did a prototype lot and began performing more analysis on the parts. After the process was clear and verified, we needed to start manufacturing the actual lot. Now, the validation engineer gets involved and must validate the machine to manufacture the knee implants. Then, once the validation is done, the quality department is involved in performing inspection on the parts. Within the inspection, there are sub inspections, in which the parts are checked for different measurements. Once the inspection is finished, the parts are passed on the packaging and shipping department. This project really showed how each department contributes to a project and the hierarchical breakdown of tasks performed for the project.
