Methods represents the second "M" in the Harland 4M Framework . By Methods, we mean a detailed description of every critical detail, parameter, process, and validation step required to consistently deploy an advanced surface on your healthcare product. The Method is perfected through a defined process that matches the pace of your product development cycle until the final product is ready for launch.

As your product progresses through each step, the Method template is refined while monitoring and integrating all your technical, production, and economic requirements through project completion.

Harland's detailed and comprehensive Method provides:

• functional and technical requirements
• manufacturing processes
• set up parameters
• machine protocols
• work instructions
• validation test procedures

Methods created by Harland are designed to accurately and consistently produce a quality surface enhancement result that meets the critical specifications of your product. Additionally, validation steps are included to measure and monitor key metrics that ensure the specifications are achieved and maintained - time after time!

Harland's unique Method template builds upon our application engineering expertise and provides a predictable and sequential pathway through the entire product development process.

Leveraging our extensively documented Method enables you to move your surface enhanced products to market faster and delivers the support you need to fulfill quality and regulatory requirements.

The Harland Method is a versatile and portable document that can be used at a Harland Coating Services facility, or transferred - along with all the related technologies needed to enhance the surface of your healthcare product - to a manufacturing location of your choice.
