Tech-Enabled Transformation: A Supply Chain Success Story Solving the Digital Manufacturing Disconnect

To solve the digital manufacturing disconnect, Dukal has launched an EDI-driven supply chain solution that provides unprecedented order transparency, tracking, and customer collaboration.

As the healthcare industry continues to grapple with increasing challenges across the manufacturing and supply chain landscape, port congestion and freight transportation issues have continued to emerge as significant disruptors. The need to adjust supply chains in a matter of hours or days rather than weeks has become the new norm.

This effort involved cross-functional and cross-geographical teams focused on agility, customer centricity, data interchanges, speed, and customer satisfaction.

The project took around 36 months to complete, and identified opportunities to provide customers:

• Inventory assignment at the factory level, eliminating the industry practice of arbitrary allocation
• Timely and collaborative communication to overcome disruptions before they impact business or patient health
