Definitely not loaners…they want them to stay. Millstone Medical Outsourcing has announced that Timothy J. Early, a packaging specialist, has come aboard as Vice President of Technical Services, and Tim Lucenti, a veteran operations manager, will serve as Program Manager for the Memphis, Tennessee processing and distribution center.
Tim Lucenti,
Program Manager“We are excited to welcome Tim Early and Tim Lucenti to the Millstone team. They each bring the kind of knowledge and experience that will enable them to exceed customer expectations, ” said Christopher Ramsden, CEO, in the news release. “At Millstone, we are continually improving our ability to meet the growing needs of our customers. Hiring experienced personnel helps us expand capacity and deliver unparalleled service.”
Early’s 27 years worth of experience include packaging engineering, quality engineering and management, and medical packaging marketing and business development. He is the holder of two patents for laparoscopic packaging innovations and was a founder of a medical package design and validation company. In the past, he has worked at Boston Scientific, DUPONT TYVEK®, Johnson & Johnson, C. R. Bard, and Cordis Corporation. Early is a frequent speaker at industry conferences, is a published author of several packaging documents, and has held a number of prestigious industry leadership positions.
When asked what he learned from the patent process that will help Millstone and its customers, Early told OTW,
“I spent more than 25 years working closely with the end-users of medical products – doctors, nurses, and supply chain associates. The knowledge I gained will enable Millstone to provide: cost-efficient packaging configurations that offer the product protection needed to withstand global distribution; better designs that incorporate user needs and human factors; and more environmentally-friendly primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging. I am confident that these experiences will enable Millstone to deliver packaging options to satisfy the needs of our current and prospective customers throughout the entire product life cycle.”
Asked to comment on one particularly important element of a product launch that he will keep foremost in his mind going forward, Tim Lucenti told OTW, “Every successful product launch starts with thorough planning. The process involves a complete understanding of the needs and expectations of the customer. Once you understand your client’s requirements, you can assign the proper resources and priority to every aspect of the program. By establishing this relationship upfront, we will insure seamless transition from launch to implementation to total customer satisfaction.”
