Suppliers who have earned the certification note their sales growth\, reduced costs related to scrap and rework\, and increased prospects across the medical device sector.The national network of Manufacturing Extension Partnerships –MEP Centers –is managing the government-fundedMedMMAP program to help manufacturers\, who are strategically growing in the medical device sector\, to get started with their MedAccred certification. Selected businesses will become part of the MedMMAP program and work with MEP subject matter experts on evaluating their critical processes and help them prepare for certification by the Performance Review Institute (PRI) for MedAccred. PRI is the exclusive non-profit accreditor for NADCAP –commonly used in the aerospace and defense industry since the 1990s –and MedAccred.Don’t take our word for it. Please register for one of our free webinar events to learn more about MedAccred and MedMMAP from OEMs driving the certification\, suppliers who earned the accreditation\, and MEP Centers (Manufacturing Extension Partnerships) supporting manufacturers throughout the country.Hear directly from executives why OEMs view this accreditation as critical to the future of their supply chains and how MedMMAP and MedAccred have transformed how they do business in the medical device industry. \nClick on this Link to register! \n
