The subject of addressing supply chain issues is quite an important and relevant topic for medical device manufacturers to integrate into their development strategies given the material and component shortages in today's economic environment. The first episode in the new MIDI series, Value of Concurrent Engineering with Inclusion of DFX in MedDevice, Operationalized under ISO-13485, addresses how is it related to an advanced DFX strategy.

Chris Montalbano, CEO of MIDI, helps to define DFX. Additionally, Chris talks about how to operationalize DFX early in the development cycle under a Concurrent Engineering approach as well as what this approach entails and how it is different from alternative approaches.
