ERP for medical device manufacturing

A medical device manufacturer is asked two questions repeatedly: what exactly went into this unit, and who touched the record. Both are record keeping problems before they are production problems, and both are usually solved with a folder structure that works until the person who designed it leaves. Alibera logs every change with user, timestamp and action, and scopes access by role, department and location so the people who should not be editing a specification cannot. Planning, purchasing and stock sit in the same system, which is where the batch link comes from.

02What it has to do

What these companies need from an ERP

The capabilities below are the ones that come up first in discovery calls with companies in this category.

01

Traceability and audit trail

Every login, change and deletion is logged with the user name, a timestamp and a description of the action. It is a core feature rather than a paid extra, so when a customer asks who changed a quantity or a specification, there is an answer.

02

Access control and a staging copy

Permissions by role, department and location, with inheritance, and two factor authentication on by default in the cloud. A separate staging environment lets you test a change before it reaches production.

03

Bills of material and planning

Multi level bills of material with make to order and make to stock planning, so a confirmed order drives the material requirement and the work orders rather than a separate spreadsheet that somebody has to remember to update.

A discovery call is a conversation about your process, not a scripted product walkthrough. If Alibera is a poor fit for what you make, we will say so on that call.
