关于客户
Siemens is one of the world’s top suppliers of systems for power generation and transmission as well as medical diagnosis technologies. As a Global Fortune 500 company, Siemens and its subsidiaries employ nearly 345,000 people and sell products in more than 200 countries. The company works to meet all regulations and standards required for Siemens products to access target markets worldwide. Consistent also with the company’s vision, Siemens works to extend its position as an industry leader in environmental and social sustainability by producing products and designing processes that are safe and eco-friendly. Every day, the Laboratory and Point of Care Diagnostics business areas of Siemens Healthcare strive to achieve important goals.
挑战
Siemens, a global Fortune 500 company, faced a major business challenge due to the confluence of two major regulatory changes becoming effective on the same date. The U.S. OSHA adoption of the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) framework as its standard for hazard communication combined with the enforcement of the EU GHS regulation on mixtures meant Siemens had to reassess and reclassify over thirty-five hundred products by the June 1, 2015 regulatory deadline. Non-compliance would have created an extreme business disruption since Siemens would have been unable to sell its products in several markets. The GHS implementation project formally began in 2014 and leveraged software, content and expertise from Sphera to help them facilitate the transition.
解决方案
Siemens leveraged software, content and expertise from Sphera to help them facilitate the transition. Sphera had been a trusted partner to Siemens for nearly a decade. In 2008, while merging three acquired companies into one, executives benchmarked best practices in terms of EHS systems. As it related to authoring and automation of safety data sheets, Sphera Intelligent Authoring™ was chosen to support Siemens’ global operations. A major business-wide team effort was established for the GHS Project, and the project was managed by Frank (Chuck) Fives, Vice President, Manufacturing, and Maria (Elisa) Bowling, Project Management Specialist. It took the partnership of over 17 cross-functional teams to execute the GHS implementations from end-to-end. Important operational partners included: Commodity Management, Communications, Demand Planning, Document Control, Engineering, Environmental Health & Safety, Information Technology, Labeling, Logistics, Manufacturing, Procurement, Project Management, Quality, Regulatory Affairs, and Technical Operations.

Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
