Supplier Management / Project Coordination

Assignment:

A medical device company lacked the resources to develop product packaging and labeling for a new patient monitoring product. The client contracted with BMG to provide the necessary technical and logistical Project Management support to develop and then implement packaging designs across a complex supply chain involving multiple contract manufacturers.

Approach:

BMG conducted interviews of potential product user groups to thoroughly define product packaging and labeling requirements, and researched regulatory guidelines to be satisfied. Following the client’s design control process, BMG generated the appropriate product requirements documentation.

BMG identified suppliers to develop the various necessary packaging elements, and oversaw the design, production and implementation of product packaging and labeling across the multi-tiered supply chain.

BMG worked with client to implement and track changes to product packaging that became necessary to support evolution of the core product design.

Results:

BMG's project planning and thorough implementation assured that product packaging and labeling components were available to manufacturers as needed to support the client's production schedules, relieving internal client resources of the burden of this phase of the project and freeing them to focus on other, core development priorities.
