Additional Benefits: Improved Operations and Quality:

Eliminate nonvalue-add activities

  • Eliminate paper-based device history record (DHR) documentation
  • Improve resource utilization by redeploying employees to productive work
  • Focus operators product improvement vs. paperwork

Systematically standardize and enforce processes across all sites

  • Require complete and accurate data collection, and automatically hold material when required
  • Use only qualified materials, equipment, operators and procedures
  • Prevent use of expired and noncon-forming materials
  • Eliminate dependency on labour-intensive quality oversight

Gain real-time visibility and control across the manufacturing supply chain

  • Provide visibility into complete, accurate and real-time work-in-process (WIP)
  • Achieve just-in-time (JIT) scheduling based on actual wait and cycle times
  • Report the real-time actual value of material used and scrapped, actual production and quality labor

Accelerate trace analysis, root cause diagnosis and issue resolution

  • View all manufacturing and quality data across all sites in seconds
  • Search and filter for suspect lots/units by component, subassembly, equipment, specification revision, operator, etc.

Lower cost of good quality and poor quality

  • Prevent errors (poka-yoke) with instant enforcement
  • Make the product right the first time to reduce scrap and rework
  • Gain instant access to complete product and process audit trails
  • Systematically enforce compliance with regulations, including Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 11 and 820

Continuously improve product quality and new designs

  • View real-time product and process performance data
  • Use actual occurrence rate of failure modes to prioritize & minimize risk
  • Identify common failures by product/ process
  • Use a single authoritative source for product, process and quality engineering collaboration

Make fact-based operational and strategic decisions

  • Provide visibility into real-time metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) for production and quality
  • View quality and operational metrics by factory and across multiple factories
  • Receive exception-based alerts to expedite issue detection and resolution
