关于客户
Medifast 是一家快速发展的公司，提供经过临床验证且易于遵循的减肥计划，帮助客户快速安全地减肥。该公司经营着多个配送中心，在扩大业务规模以适应不断增长的业务量方面面临挑战。Medifast 正在寻找一种解决方案来优化其配送中心的运营，降低运输部门的人工成本，节省年度运输成本，并减少卡车的卸货时间。
挑战
Medifast 是一家快速发展的公司，在扩展其 ERP 系统以适应其每个配送中心不断增长的货运量方面面临挑战。该公司的目标是通过优化配送中心运营来降低运输部门的人工成本、节省年度运输成本并减少卡车卸货时间。在实施新解决方案之前，Medifast 员工需要手动挑选箱子，根据速度来衡量效率，并且需要两名员工扫描、称重和粘贴运输标签。这一流程效率低下，导致过度使用空隙填充物并导致重新包装延误。
解决方案
Medifast 实施了仓库管理系统 (WMS) Blue Yonder 仓库管理，以优化其配送中心的运营。该系统可以实时查看仓库现场发生的情况，从而实现更快、更有效的决策。仓库管理系统中的直接工作队列允许 Medifast 约 40% 的配送员工处理系统分配的任务。这消除了文书工作和移动事务，使员工能够与系统一起实时工作。该系统还将产品重量和尺寸加载到其中，使其能够在订单被挑选之前选择正确的箱子并在前端贴上运输标签。这减少了重复操作和劳动力浪费。

Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.

Harnessing real-time data to give a holistic picture of patient health
Every day, vast quantities of data are collected about patients as they pass through health service organizations—from operational data such as treatment history and medications to physiological data captured by medical devices. The insights hidden within this treasure trove of data can be used to support more personalized treatments, more accurate diagnosis and more advanced preparative care. But since the information is generated faster than most organizations can consume it, unlocking the power of this big data can be a struggle. This type of predictive approach not only improves patient care—it also helps to reduce costs, because in the healthcare industry, prevention is almost always more cost-effective than treatment. However, collecting, analyzing and presenting these data-streams in a way that clinicians can easily understand can pose a significant technical challenge.
