Hey folks, diving right back into our DP Minute series with a spotlight on the QMSR's scope today. Ever wonder about third-party servicers or why certain entities are in (or out) of the rule-making scope?  We're breaking it down straight from the QMSR document to keep you in the loop. Quick takeaway: The FDA is keeping a tight scope to match international standards.  This means the QMSR will not include third-party servicers and refurbishers. But why? It's all about harmonizing with global regs while keeping the essence of QS regulation intact. Curious for more details or unsure how this affects you? The QMSR’s clock is ticking towards its 2026 deadline for implementation. It's crunch time to get your ducks in a row. For the full dive and more DP nuggets, swing by dpdconline.com and let's get connected on LinkedIn. Stay ahead with us as we unravel the QMSR mysteries together.

CPAC Modular's Standards and Compliance Team exemplify this year’s theme for World Standards Day - 'Collaboration and Partnership'. Our team, lead by Claire Mulreid, work in partnership with all internal departments, external suppliers, approved sub-contractors, and all regulatory stakeholders to ensure the delivery of ISO Standards.

Gate safety doesn’t stop at automation. It starts with education. This week, we’re joined by AFA Board Member and Director of Products & Services at Controlled Products Systems Group, Zach Eichenberger. From product innovation to industry standards, Zach shares how distributors play a critical role in promoting safe gate practices, both automated and manual, and why every professional in the industry should stay educated and involved. Because real safety isn’t just about compliance. It’s about protecting people, empowering professionals, and strengthening our industry from the inside out. ❤️ #GateSafetyAwarenessMonth #GateSafety #AFAEducation #ReadySetSafe

Earlier this month I was honored to be a presenting at the Fox Cities Operational Excellence Association (FCOEA) Conference with my co-worker and friend Haley Johnson. We shared about the process improvement made by replacing a complex and manual forklift certification training process with an efficient electronic process. The process includes validations, automation and immediate certification. The results also drastically reduced the amount of time needed for internal audits since we have replaced binders full of certifications with easily searchable electronic training records. U.S. Venture has embraced continuous improvement and innovation and the FCOEA Conference allows us to connect with other innovators and learn from each other. #continuousimprovement #usventure #findingabetterway #forkliftcertification #digitaltransformation

Thrilled to announce that I will be presenting tomorrow at #IAVVC 2025 in Baden Baden, Germany . Our work, developed in collaboration with my co-authors Mariat James Elizebeth, Shufeng Chen, Siddartha Khastgir and Paul Jennings, introduces a novel integration of STPA (System-Theoretic Process Analysis), ISO 26262, and SOTIF to strengthen hazard identification and test planning. 💡 Key contributions include: -Bridging limitations of traditional standards by integrating ISO 26262, SOTIF, and STPA -Defining test plans directly from requirements derived through STPA -Supporting compliance with safety regulations and enabling practical use of STPA in industry. This means in practice: -Direct derivation of safety goals and requirements from unsafe control actions -ASIL assignment refined using ODD (Operational Design Domain) parameters -Full traceability from hazard analysis through to test planning The next step will be applying this framework to a real-world case study. Session: Standards & Infrastructure Validation 📅 Date: Wednesday, 1 October 🕚 Time: 11:00 . I look forward to engaging with the safety community at #IAVVC 2025.
