About The Customer
Cerapedics is a global ortho-biologics company that is revolutionizing bone repair with its bone-graft technology. The company's products are used in more than 4 million annual orthopedics, trauma, spine, and interventional procedures around the world. The company faced a challenge in managing its inventory of over 750 spare parts, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. John Espinosa, the Maintenance Manager at Cerapedics, recognized the need for a more efficient system and worked with eMaint to implement their industry-leading CMMS software.
The Challenge
Cerapedics, a global bone-graft technology company, was facing a significant challenge in managing their inventory of over 750 spare parts. The company needed a system that would allow for efficient and strategic spare parts management. The existing system was time-consuming and labor-intensive, with workers spending valuable time navigating the inventory to find the right part for the right equipment. The company recognized the need for part tagging, location tracking, and a central organizing system for the storeroom. The challenge was to develop a system that would not only streamline the process but also ensure that critical spares were readily available during maintenance emergencies.
The Solution
John Espinosa, the Maintenance Manager at Cerapedics, worked with eMaint to implement their industry-leading Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) software. The eMaint CMMS allowed for the organization and tracking of Cerapedics’ spare parts, establishing a streamlined and standardized system that saved the team time and labor. The system made finding critical spares during maintenance crises a simple process of searching the eMaint spare parts database. The solution also integrated with Cerapedics’ purchasing system, allowing for easy creation of purchase orders and fulfillment of invoices. The eMaint Parts Reorder list provided visibility into parts that were running low, enabling proactive management of the inventory.
Operational Impact
  • The implementation of eMaint's CMMS software has transformed the spare parts management at Cerapedics. The storeroom is now organized and tracked with eMaint, allowing the maintenance team to quickly search for a critical spare, determine its status and exact location, and even look at historical analysis on previous work orders. Spare parts can be attached to relevant assets and integrated into standard work orders and preventive maintenance schedules. The system has also simplified interactions between the maintenance and business teams, with eMaint working in harmony with Cerapedics’ purchasing system. The level of customer support provided by eMaint has been highly appreciated by the Cerapedics team.
