📋 Management Action Items

1. Sustain Performance: Both product lines are performing at or above target. The primary action is to maintain the current quality and manufacturing processes that are delivering this reliability.

2. Process Benchmarking: Use the successful processes from both the Infusion Pump and Patient Monitor lines as internal "standards" for developing new products.

3. Review Patient Monitor Target: Since the Patient Monitor now meets its 5,000 MCBF target, consider setting a new, more aggressive "stretch goal" for future continuous improvement initiatives.
