Medical Device Supply Chain Challenges

The specific operational problems that cost medical device operators margin, time, and growth every year.

UDI Compliance

FDA UDI regulations require every medical device to carry a machine-readable identifier linked to the Global UDI Database. Managing UDI assignment, GUDID submission, and downstream labeling across product revisions requires systematic tooling.

21 CFR Part 820 Lot Traceability

FDA QSR requires complete device history records linking each lot to its component suppliers, manufacturing batch records, and post-market field performance. Manual DHR compilation takes 8-20 hours per lot during audits.

Supplier Qualification and Approved Supplier Lists

ISO 13485 and 21 CFR Part 820 require documented supplier qualification for critical components. Maintaining audit-ready supplier files, qualification records, and re-qualification schedules across 50-500 suppliers is a significant quality burden.

Demand Planning for Capital Equipment and Consumables

Medical device companies sell capital equipment (one-time purchase) and consumables (recurring, tied to installed base). These require fundamentally different forecasting models. Using one model for both leads to chronic stockouts on consumables.
