052 - “All Work is Process” with Larry Mager

Combinate Podcast - Combining Drugs and Devices

On this special episode of the podcast, I was joined by Larry Mager. As the 52nd episode, I wanted to thank Larry for being my first interview a little more than a year ago!

On this episode, Larry and I discuss:

- His experiences with Pharma and CRO clients vs. Medical Device

- Predictive Quality Management across both medical device and pharma

- Management Review and Compliance/Effectiveness/Efficiency

- Prioritization, finding the right metrics and not measuring every process

- His Books and what’s to come

He has held executive management responsibilities in both quality management and operations management roles and is experienced in interrelated quality disciplines, such as quality systems, management control, CAPA, supplier control and management, risk management, quality assurance/control, lean manufacturing, product development engineering, and results-oriented management for continuous improvement.
