关于客户
The customer is a global healthcare company that generated US$11 B (€10 B) in 2014 and had 37,000 employees working in 100 counties. The company is experiencing strong healthcare spending which continues to fuel demand for its imaging, diagnostic, and informatics products and services business. Sales growth is particularly strong in non-English speaking regions. The company has pursued an acquisitions strategy to increase its healthcare business product portfolio over the last several years.
挑战
The customer, a global healthcare company, was looking to completely change how it organizes and manages service content. The company was facing a moment of change and realized that the task wasn’t just about modifying their documentation process. They needed to reinvent their business practices for creating, delivering, and updating service knowledge. The company had pursued an acquisitions strategy to increase its healthcare business product portfolio over the last several years. As a result, the individual teams that make up the technical authoring division often used different strategies and tools to complete assignments. With authors located around the world, this approach made it challenging to monitor projects and establish standard best practice.
解决方案
PTC worked closely with the customer to create a new service roadmap for providing knowledge to an increasingly diverse worldwide user base. PTC implemented its solutions across multiple business units. These solutions include Windchill Service Information Manager (SIM), Arbortext Editor, and Creo Illustrate. PTC also helped to further integrate PTC Axeda into the customer’s technology ecosystem. Windchill SIM is enabling the customer to better organize and manage service content and facilitate content reuse across product families. PTC is finding new ways to exploit Axeda’s capabilities and opportunities for leveraging the Internet of Things. The three-year roadmap calls for additional PTC product implementations and service engagements, including projects to deploy PTC InService and Windchill Service Parts.

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.
