In-detail:

Nothing says more about a company’s commitment to its customers than its efforts to uphold promises of safety, quality and service. Yet, while many companies are well equipped to get their products to market, locating and retrieving them often proves a more challenging (and daunting) proposition.
 
Without careful planning and execution, even the most ordinary product issue can create irreparable reputational damage and lead to legal action or regulatory enforcement.
 
In this 45-minute ‘essential insights’ webinar we unveil the driving principles for successful in-market product and recall management. Discover how businesses are re-evaluating their processes to mitigate risk, and what you can do to protect your brand and bottom-line.
 

During this short 45-minute session (and accompanying eBook), we share essential strategies to:

  • Navigate the regulatory landscape governing lithium-ion batteries.
  • Overcome product complexities, manufacturing and supply difficulties, as well as verification testing challenges.
  • Capture product risks effectively in your requirements and design processes.
  • Effectively handle a recall, including defective battery transportation, storage and recycling.
  • Ensure post-market support and maintain customer satisfaction.
