Pain points and challenges in the medical device industry
Starting from the actual needs of the industry, starting with mature industry solutions, sorting out business problems and confirming optimization directions.
The pressure of technological innovation
The medical device industry needs to maintain the advantage of technological innovation to meet the escalating medical needs.
At the same time, with the technological progress, emerging enterprises are also emerging, traditional enterprises are facing technical challenges from competitors.
High quality and safety requirements
The medical device industry has extremely high requirements for product quality and safety. Once there are problems in product quality and safety, it will affect product reputation and market competitiveness, which will not only have higher requirements on the manufacturing process, but also bring pressure on regulatory policies.
It is difficult to manage and purchase.
Due to the tight delivery of orders, it is often necessary to prepare materials according to sales forecasts and production plans, while many key parts may need to be imported overseas, with long delivery times, and materials need to be prepared in advance according to the plan.
On the whole, the demand for the coordination of production planning and material planning is very high.
Product cost accounting is difficult
There are many kinds of medical products, small batches, frequent rework and warranty, cost accounting is time-consuming and laborious, so it is difficult to calculate the cost accurately.
At the same time, due to the lower and lower gross profit margin of the medical industry and the lag or inaccuracy of cost accounting, it is easy to affect product pricing.
There are so many materials that it is difficult to control
The production of medical devices involves a lot of raw materials, the traditional means are difficult to manage, and R & D and production management often go their own way, which is easy to cause backlog of materials, increase costs and great pressure on inventory management.
It is difficult to manage suppliers
Due to the large number of raw materials, procurement and outsourcing business, and a large number of suppliers in the medical device industry, procurement requires effective price control, assessment and supplier rating, but most enterprises do not have a perfect supplier management system.

Supplier / customer access
Due to the particularity of the medical device industry, the scheme constructs a supplier / customer access management component based on the medical device industry, which helps medical device enterprises to effectively identify and manage raw material suppliers, customers and dealers.
• Supplier management.
Aiming at the supplier's comprehensive qualification, scale, quality certification system, business license and other qualification information input system, it also has historical procurement data. When the purchaser places a purchase order, according to the validity of the data, the actual qualification and product information of suppliers are screened to control product quality from the source.
• Customer management.
Based on the management principles of the FDA, salespeople can obtain the basic information of customers in real time and strictly manage the sales channels of medical devices.
Product life cycle
For the storage management of medical devices, the scheme provides complete medical device product life cycle management components to help enterprises manage the validity of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products of medical devices.
The supply chain management system inputs the accurate information of raw materials / semi-finished products into storage, and the production department can fully consider the validity period of raw materials and semi-finished products when receiving materials, so as to achieve flexible production receiving materials. Early warning of expired waste and stagnant materials in the warehouse.
The warehousing management system can effectively control the entry and exit of finished products, strictly manage their validity and shelf life, and deal with expired products timely and effectively.
Production planning management
Assist enterprises in formulating effective production plans, achieving effective control over key nodes in the entire order execution process, and meet and assist medical device enterprises in passing the GMP review of the Food and Drug Administration.
The plan covers the batch demand planning subsystem, enabling enterprises to better prepare production plans and material procurement plans for products and semi-finished products at each stage according to orders. Production is arranged reasonably based on product or equipment capacity, improving the enforceability of production plans. For planned production and order based production modes, medical device enterprises can greatly improve work efficiency and accuracy, helping to improve customer satisfaction, Bring greater benefits to the enterprise.
At the same time, effective control is implemented over the procurement and inventory management of raw materials, production workshop and equipment management, quality supervision and traceability processes at each business node, helping enterprises establish transparent and traceable production processes to meet the GMP review of the Food and Drug Administration.
Quality traceability
Provided the function of batch management for all incoming and outgoing materials, matching a traceable batch number and serial number for various materials, semi-finished products, and finished products, and establishing efficient and transparent quality management standards.
The plan provides batch number management for all incoming and outgoing materials. For sold products, in maintenance management, the plan provides serial number management. When there is a problem with a product, the maintenance status can be recorded in detail, and the original production status and raw materials of the product can be tracked. In turn, the same batch of products of the product can be found, as well as the sales or inventory status of these products.
At the same time, strict management and control are carried out for the validity period of materials, and the system can provide warning functions to timely remind warehouse management and production personnel to ensure product quality.
Refined cost
The plan clearly covers the expenses incurred by all processes of medical device enterprises, from sales to research and development, from procurement to production, from warehousing to outbound, and effectively monitors business processes. It helps medical device enterprises obtain refined cost information, effectively saves and controls operating costs, and applies more funds to product research and development and expansion of operations.
• Cost refinement division
The plan divides costs into: material costs, labor costs, manufacturing costs, and processing costs. The cost calculation method is flexibly configured according to requirements to adapt to various complex cost accounting situations, and has clear data reports for various expenses incurred in various business processes, freeing financial personnel from complex manual tasks such as data collection and cost allocation, providing cost information to managers faster and more accurately, and improving the management decision-making level of enterprises.
• Flexible report visualization
With the flexible data reporting and business analysis suite of SAP ERP, enterprises can visualize production cost data, effectively control cost analysis and gross profit analysis, and obtain real-time input and output of each task.
Intelligent warehousing
The plan has built an intelligent warehousing system, which achieves refined inventory management through docking with equipment such as PDAs, barcode guns, inventory machines, and various transportation equipment, thereby optimizing the procurement process and improving inventory accuracy.
