Medical device manufacturing is the perfect storm of diverse knowledge streams — everyone from medical experts to researchers, technology, digital, cybersecurity, design, and manufacturing have stakes in the industry. Manufacturers rely on a high-quality ERP to maintain visibility on their manufacturing process, ensuring that their products meet necessary regulations and standards.
Important ERP Software Features for Medical Device Manufacturers
Visibility of the Manufacturing Processes
A good ERP for medical devices will allow users to supervise the entire manufacturing process from beginning to end — through suppliers, to manufacturers, and to dealers and customers. A manufacturer’s quality management and production scheduling relies on a dissolvement of information silos, clear and visible data, and easy, cloud based access.
Lot and Serial Tracking
Businesses that have been tracing manually will benefit from implementing a tracing system like an ERP. ERPs offer easier management of warranties, recalls, theft and forged goods. Tracing is crucial for FDA compliance and warehouse management. Software strengthens compliance and reduces human error.
Warranty and Service Tracking
Warranty operations can either be a profitable force for your business or can be an expensive profit drain. Medical device manufacturing needs an effective claims management system with predictable outcomes. Warranty management done manually can involve several different management systems, from supply chain to production, distribution, and customer service. An ERP can accommodate the many departments into a single, functioning communication system.
FDA compliance
Manufacturing visibility ensures that products meet quality standards and FDA compliance standards. ERPs are critical in overseeing and tracking the entire manufacturing process while keeping the management of these systems cost effective.
