YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Managing Multi-Market Compliance and Product Traceability
- EU MDR transition deadlines extend to 2027 or 2028 for many legacy devices, while U.S. UDI rules require consistent product and traceability data.
- To align these requirements, YCP maps regulatory workflows, strengthens supplier documentation, and designs traceability processes suited to target markets.
Building Resilience Across Global Component Networks
- Medical device makers face longer lead times and cost volatility for chips, sensors, specialty plastics, and sterile packaging as global logistics remain uncertain.
- Through supplier-risk mapping and sourcing strategy, YCP helps teams qualify alternatives, balance inventory, and reduce exposure to single-source components.
Planning for Demand Shifts in an Aging Healthcare Market
- Taiwan became a super-aged society in 2025, with people aged 65 and over exceeding 20% of the population, increasing demand for chronic-care devices.
- With demand signals linked to care settings and product portfolios, YCP helps companies refine forecasts, prioritize high-potential segments, and plan capacity.
Connecting Supply Chain Data Without Raising Cyber Risk
- Fragmented planning, quality, and supplier data can slow recalls and audits; FDA cybersecurity guidance also raises expectations for connected medical devices.
- By assessing data flows and operating processes, YCP supports integrated supply-chain roadmaps that improve visibility while embedding practical risk controls.
