Most plants still keep design in Word and risk in Excel. RapidFacto puts user needs, inputs, outputs, tests, and risk on the product — then transfers approved design into BMR and QC with the same history.

Why design controls stall on the shop floor

R&D writes requirements in Word. Quality tracks risk in Excel. Manufacturing only sees the DHF when an auditor asks for it. When a design input changes, it is not obvious which tests, risks, or batch records are now out of date.

  • Open the DHF from the product record instead of assembling it the week before inspection
  • Catch missing links, open risks, and stale tests before an auditor does
  • Move approved design into manufacturing without losing the requirement trail

Requirements

Requirements on the product, not in a shared drive

Capture user needs and design inputs by product, component, and category. Status, owner, and revision sit on the same record quality and engineering both use.

  • Requirements table with ID, component, category, and status
  • Attachments and design outputs linked to the input they cover
  • Same product record as QMS documents, manufacturing, and QC

Traceability matrix from user need to V&V

See user need → design input → output → validation in one view. Prompt the team when a link, risk, or test is missing.

  • Flags for missing connections, unresolved risks, and outdated tests
  • Changing a requirement shows which V&V evidence is affected

Risk on the same record as the requirement

Score hazards next to the design input. Link mitigations to outputs and tests, and keep residual risk visible until it is accepted.

  • Severity, occurrence, and detectability per product
  • Mitigations linked to design outputs and verification
  • Open risks stay on the dashboard until closed or accepted

Design History File from live records

The DHF is the approved plan, inputs, risk file, V&V, and review minutes — not a zip file assembled the night before CDSCO arrives.

  • Index built from approved design records
  • Design reviews with attendees, decisions, and Part 11 e-signatures
  • Export a DHF pack for ISO 13485 and CDSCO inspections

Design transfer

Transfer approved design into manufacturing

Approved outputs become the specs BMR, IPQC, and FG tests run against. A complaint or recall can still reach the original requirement.

  • Map design outputs to BMR steps and QC specifications
  • Keep the design-to-batch link after transfer
  • A revised input flags the manufacturing and QC records it touches
