thank you for your reply! To clear my statement, I meant that with the long process and amount of time the company needs to invest in the process of design controls and abiding by it, they mostly use it as a set of paperwork to finish and not actually take the benefit of it toward their product. They use it as another step that needs to be done to approve their product. On the other hand, if they really take the time to use every step of it to improve the quality the process won’t be as hectic and their product will avoid recalls. Again I am only speaking of some companies that fail to realize the benefit of it.
