Service Parts

01 / Challenge

At the time, we were managing Spectrum’s service parts supply chain in APAC and EMEA. The main challenge was to launch a new DC in the US and relocate the stock from the old warehouse to the new DC without disrupting the flow of spare parts supply to hospitals. If any out-of-service machine wasn’t supplied or repaired in time, it would cause a problem with the service provided by the hospital as well as leave some patients untreated, creating an appointments backlog.

02 / Process

In order to avoid flow disruption, Unilog ensured the following process:

  • Process review for US market support with Spectrum to ensure they are in line with the setup we have in APAC & EMEA.
  • Technological infrastructure in Logivice was ready upon goods receiving.
  • New DC space & working stations prepared to place Spectrum’s parts.
  • Pick up trucks were scheduled to bring pallets of goods to the new DC where the hands-on team were awaiting to inbound them.
  • Goods were split into categories and the most frequently requested were inbounded in the first line.
  • In order to assure to a smooth launch, a Unilog team member managed the project on site, adjusting the processes in the real time.

03 / Results

  • More than 60% of the spare parts were inbounded on the same day.
  • The new DC operated service call orders from day 1, parallel to the continuous inbound process, so the flow of spare parts to hospitals remained uninterrupted.
  • Serial numbers of high value items together with “high runners” were captured and allocated in the Logivice system on the 1st day.
  • Spectrum had real-time visibility on the project, enabled by Logivice’s transparency of order fulfillment and stock supervision.
  • The warehouse team was guided on the future flow process including return flow managing and stock keeping.
