Serag-Wiessner reduces inventories and improves delivery readiness with APS software

In the pharmaceutical and medical sectors, in addition to flawless product quality, a high level of supply availability is an important criterion that manufacturers have to take into account. Many companies are responding with higher safety stocks, although this ties up a lot of liquidity. Serag-Wiessner has mastered this balancing act with the help of the Advanced Scheduling and Planning Software (APS) DISKOVER.

When Serag-Wiessner receives an order, it has to be delivered quickly: suture material of various resorption levels, textile implants or irrigation and infusion solutions often have to be on site within 24 hours. For the manufacturers of such products, this is associated with increased stock levels, as they must remain able to deliver even in the event of fluctuations in demand and disruptions in the supply chain.
