Show Notes
This week’s guest is Marc Nash, SVP of Operations and R&D at Outset Medical.
In an industry dominated by legacy players, Marc explains how Outset set out to redefine what is possible when it comes to patient health, and how they leveraged an equally disruptive approach to manufacturing to give them a competitive edge. He also explains how they are taking advantage of IoT to improve their products even after they have been shipped, the evolution of lean manufacturing in the digital age, and the value of composability in developing next-gen production systems.
