DDL West Announces Series of Webcasts on Packaging & Risk Management - When Time-to-Market is Critical, Understand Your Risk


(PRLEAP.COM) Costa Mesa, CA, February 8, 2007 – http://www.testedandproven.com – DDL West, a leading package, product and material testing services firm, is hosting a series of webcasts on packaging and risk management.

Packaging professionals and manufacturers are invited to participate in an interactive webcast to gain a better understanding of the risk associated with their product’s packaging and obtain tips on how to better manage this risk.

“Individuals responsible for packaging design and validation are required to provide a safe and effective package that can deliver the enclosed product to the end-user without incurring defect,” said Karen Greene, Technical Director at DDL West. “In order to do this, the packaging must undergo a comprehensive risk assessment process to ensure that end-user safety isn’t compromised and that the product is delivered to market in a timely fashion.”

DDL West’s series of Packaging & Risk Management webcasts will focus on:

1. Packaging design requirements
2. Packaging hazard analysis
3. Prototyping and testing package design

“It’s very important to follow a set risk assessment process to ensure that you have all bases covered before releasing your product into the marketplace,” said Greene. “When you’re dealing with critical applications such as medical devices, package failure is simply not an option.”

The first webcast on Packaging & Risk Management will air on two days:
• Wednesday, March 14, 2007 at 11 am CST
• Friday, March 16, 2007 at 12 Noon CST
