ERP system in the medical industry
1、 Development of the medical industry
The medical industry is very important in the national economy, and China's large population base and rapidly growing elderly population have brought about a sustained growth in demand for medical services. Since the COVID-19 in early 2020, people have paid more attention to health awareness and will vigorously promote the rapid development of the medical market scale.
Since the launch of the new healthcare reform, investment in medical facility construction and equipment updates has increased, coupled with a steady increase in the number of medical services and treatments in China, ushering in a rapidly developing era for the Chinese medical device market.
2、 Industry pain points
Lack of effective supplier management mechanism and long-term effective supply and cooperation of medical devices and drugs
The classification of drugs and devices is complex, and under manual management conditions, the workload is tedious. It takes a lot of time and effort to search for a certain type of drug from tens of thousands of types
Inadequate expiration date and quality management of drugs
Information flow in enterprise departments is not smooth, and resources cannot be shared
• Financial management is not in place, and there are obstacles to business collaboration in various regions. 3. Implementation goal Shuntong Network provides medical enterprises with an integrated solution for upgrading and transformation through SAP system and the construction of "Internet plus" according to the pain points faced by medical enterprises.
• Strict supplier admission conditions, visual traceability of medical device product information • Strict control of medical device production process
Implement closed-loop management of financial linkage control
4. Introduction to the Integrated Solution Module of SAP Medical Industry ERP System Supporting Groupization and Multi format Models
Supplier management
When pharmaceutical industry enterprises collaborate with suppliers, they need to conduct an internal review of supplier qualifications. Only after passing the qualification review can they proceed with the procurement of medical devices and pharmaceuticals.
After the supplier qualification changes, data modification and changes can be made in SAP.
When the supplier's qualification expires, the system automatically alerts and locks the enterprise out of procurement.
Barcode quality traceability management
Dace has independently developed a barcode traceability application system, which achieves visual traceability of the entire process from procurement, warehousing, order production, to sales through the management of one item, one code for materials and products.
Due to the complexity of drug and device classification, DaCe's self-developed barcode system scans the product information of medical devices (name, registration certificate number or filing voucher number, specification model, production batch number or serial number, production date or expiration date) and relevant information of production enterprises in SAP, and achieves quality traceability and tracking functions.
Meanwhile, the barcode system can simplify the processes of procurement, warehousing, outbound, sales, and after-sales.
Product lifecycle management
The supply chain management system provides accurate information on the entry of raw materials/semi-finished products into the warehouse. The production department can fully consider the validity period of raw materials and semi-finished products during production and material requisition, achieving flexible production and material requisition, and providing early warning for expired waste, obsolete materials, etc. in the warehouse.
The warehouse management system effectively controls the entry and exit of finished products, strictly manages their validity and shelf life, and promptly and effectively processes expired products.
Production plan management (meeting GMP review)
The SAP healthcare industry solution covers the batch demand planning subsystem, allowing enterprises to better prepare production plans and material procurement plans for products and semi-finished products at each stage according to orders, and schedule production reasonably based on product or equipment capacity, improving the feasibility of production plans.
At the same time, effective control is implemented for each business node's raw material procurement and inventory management, production workshop and equipment management, quality supervision and traceability processes, helping to establish transparent and traceable production processes and meet the GMP review of the drug regulatory bureau.
Financial management
SAP combines business and finance to achieve closed-loop management of financial linkage control.
Its clear record of the entire process of sales, research and development, procurement, production, and warehousing of medical devices and drugs helps medical industry enterprises obtain refined cost information, effectively saving and controlling operating costs.
At the same time, the integration of business and finance frees financial personnel from the collection of data and other complex manual tasks, providing managers with more accurate financial information and improving decision-making skills.
Report management
Helps simplify the way healthcare enterprises make decisions and use information, enabling them to position, format, analyze, locate, and share information across the entire organization, including analysis reports, queries and analysis, dashboards and visualizations, search, and business intelligence platforms.
