052 - “All Work is Process” with Larry Mager

Let's Combinate · 28 Sept 2022 · 53m

What this episode covers

Larry Mager, Principal and Founder of Mgmt-Ctrl, discusses his application of Predictive Quality Management across medical device, pharmaceutical, and consulting sectors. He argues that while product specifications differ, the underlying quality principles—measuring product, process, and people—are universal. Mager emphasizes using Theory of Constraints to identify and improve specific bottlenecks rather than attempting enterprise-wide improvements simultaneously, which he claims leads to chaos and poor ROI. He also previews his upcoming book on Predictive Quality Management, which aims to provide a strategic, systemic framework for quality leadership.

    Focusing on the Constraint to Drive Meaningful Results

    Pavel Kuviarzin, a Business Growth Expert at Future State Engineering, explains how manufacturers often fail to improve productivity by focusing on efficiency in non-constraint areas rather than identifying and optimizing the system's bottleneck. He illustrates this with examples of a commercial refrigeration manufacturer that wasted money on laser automation while the forklift operator became the constraint, and a hand tool manufacturer that increased throughput despite a 15% labor shortage by applying the Theory of Constraints. Kuviarzin outlines a five-step 'systematic capacity expansion' process that prioritizes exploiting existing constraints before investing in new resources.

    What are the Opportunities for Improvement (OFI) for Quality?

    Jon Speer, founder of Greenlight Guru, hosts Mike Drues of Vascular Sciences to discuss the definition and implementation of quality in the medical device industry. They argue that regulatory quality is about consistency rather than subjective 'good or bad' outcomes, and that quality management systems should serve as a business philosophy rather than just a compliance checklist. The conversation highlights the disconnect between product design validation and manufacturing process validation, especially in Class 1 and 2 devices.

    How to Fix a Factory: Influencing the Direction of Your Company w/ Rob Tracy

    Rob Tracy, president of Rob Tracy Consulting and author of 'How to Fix a Factory', discusses how manufacturing leaders should navigate long-term capacity constraints and labor shortages. He outlines four key strategic decisions: managing customer tiering and lead times, trimming low-margin product lines, adjusting pricing to reflect supply scarcity, and re-evaluating capital investments as throughput generators rather than just cost reducers. Tracy also advocates for using structured operating systems like his Manufacturing Leadership System (MLS) or EOS to execute these new strategies effectively.

    #390: Building a Non-BS QMS: 4 Core Principles for MedTech Success with Ashkon Rasooli

    Ashkon Rasooli, a quality and regulatory expert, joins host Etienne Nichols to outline four core principles for building an effective, non-burdensome Quality Management System (QMS) for medical device companies. Rasooli argues for 'Quality over Proceduralism,' 'Culture over Mandate,' 'Redundancy over Duplication,' and 'Conciseness over Verbosity' to ensure the QMS serves the business rather than just acting as a compliance checkbox. He advises new founders to engage quality and regulatory advisors early in the design phase to optimize architecture and avoid costly retrospective documentation. The discussion also covers the strategic decision of whether to treat quality as a minimum regulatory hurdle or a key business differentiator.

    Finding the Root Causes of Success Rather Than Failure w/ George Pesansky

    George Pesansky, founder of My Blended Learning and co-founder of Capacity to Care, discusses his approach to operational excellence in his upcoming book, 'Super Performance'. He argues that manufacturers should focus on the root causes of success by improving 'C' and 'B' performers to 'A' status, rather than just fixing failures. Pesansky critiques the blind copying of Toyota Production System methodologies and emphasizes the importance of leading indicators over lagging KPIs to drive sustainable improvement.
