When it comes to an ideal project team, it’s all subjective in the sense of what industry it’s in or what product/service the company is trying to provide. So depending on the industry or product, I’d want team members with… Read more»

I agree and believe your senior project would be classified as a “mobile medical app.” As you stated, the FDA did claim that “mobile medical apps” are intended to be “used as an accessory to a regulated medical device. Your… Read more»

If a company were to somehow successfully figure out a method of developing artificial organs for use by patients in need of immediate transplant then I would definitely agree that it would classify as a Class III device. Any devices… Read more»

I also do not have any Six Sigma Belt Certifications as my only knowledge of it is from this course, a quality course from my undergraduate, and a Manufacturing course I am currently taking. I do have a colleague that graduated as a Mechanical Engineer, and just got the job title as a “Process Engineer.” I’m not sure for what company, however I do…[Read more]

jvv6 replied to the topic Why do people leave work? in the forum Project Management Application: Clinical Trial 7 years, 11 months ago
I agree with bb254 in that after some amount of time working the job you’re at, you’re expected to reach a certain standard and then nobody will really give out recognition or praise for carrying out your specific duties. I can definitely see why people would leave their job after becoming too comfortable and/or the work environment has become too…[Read more]

jvv6 replied to the topic Why do people work? in the forum Project Management Application: Clinical Trial 7 years, 11 months ago
From the studies I’m not really all too surprised by the results. The study was based off people already working in the industry and asked about what keeps them working at their respective company. Without a doubt, fair pay and benefits are definitely necessities to just being able to sustain your ways of living. However, once those are already…[Read more]

What motivates me to do work or accomplish my goals is the journey to actually achieving them.

jvv6 replied to the topic FDA Recall…Now What? in the forum Project Management Process and Medical Device Development 8 years ago
I agree with bb254, that an Engineering Change Order may be necessary, especially since the design controls have been finished for this project. In that ECO, it would most likely call for a change for that defective part causing the device’s failure to activate. Most likely there would be a change in the specification, since you’re changing one…[Read more]

I agree with jp582 in being that variance reports are essential when it comes to the monitoring and controlling process of a project. They compare actual current value of the project to what was anticipated, basically comparing any variance to the established baseline. It is a good measure of a project’s status in terms of schedule and cost. I…[Read more]
