| dc.description.abstract | With the continuous worldwide demand for anterior cervical systems, Medtronic Spinal Division decided to makes changes in the
manufacturing process in order to meet this demand. The company decided to introduce some new products. Therefore, various prototypes were developed to accomplish the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements and the market. All the prototypes were evaluated in order to give the company more alternatives to match the specific customer needs with the best
technology and engineering management techniques in the industry. In this paper, the PEEK and TTN implants were compared. PEEK resulted to be the best choice. Key words: anterior cervical system, engineering management, DMAIC, PEEK, Titanium. | en_US |
