Uses Newest Wireless Technologies

• Ability to scan bar codes to identify shelf locations and enter item numbers
• Short sync times, MS Windows CE platform for labels
• Performance, productivity and activity tracking
• Ability to view all items on part (IC81) on item view screen
• Ability to enter amount above par quantity
• Ability to view Quantity on
• Order while entering counts
• Pick multiple pars in one sweep (wireless)

Minimizes paperwork and batching, streamlining data entry

• Synchronizes counts in real time when using wireless
• Reduces the amount of time needed to conduct inventory and par counting
• Records counts faster and more accurately resulting in expedited replenishment
• Allows a greater number of Pars to be counted at one time than old handhelds
• Maintains better stock levels

Receiving & Delivery (RAD)

Infor’s Receiving and Delivery MSCM module allows users to perform package receiving (PO30), picking (WH32) and stock issues and returns (IC21) through a handheld. This technology improves delivery management by organizing delivery routes and allows for greater accountability with signature capture. It allows receivers to track Non PO receipts and provides departments with self service tracking.

Dock logging

• Confirms delivery of packages compared to carrier’s manifest, allowing you to resolve discrepancies immediately while the driver is still on site
• Record the exact time of delivery for both PO and non-PO deliveries
• Miscellaneous Receiving (non-PO)
• Designate a tracking number and scan it into RAD to track the movement of the package
• Indicate specific delivery directions for staff
• PO Receiving
• Receive PO items via handheld
• Update PO30 automatically through transfer of data from RAD to

Procurement Picking

• Pick inventory items ordered via Requisitions and enter shipping feedback
• Track deliver of those items

Issues

• Issue or return items for any department set up as a requesting location

Delivery

• Deliver both PO and Miscellaneous (Non-PO) Receipt

Tracking

• Empower end users by allowing them to check the status of their packages once scanned at the receiving dock
• Enable MM staff to have increased visibility of their deliveries and where they are located

Benefits:

• Reduced risk of losing packages
• Increased visibility of goods in the system
• Ability to process and track non-PO deliveries
• Save paper by eliminating the need to print receiving and delivery tickets
• Ability to issue while standing at shelf reduces inventory shrinkage
• Increased inventory accuracy and replenishment urgical
• Instrument Management (SIM)

Surgical Instrument Management (SIM)

Surgical Instrument Management (SIM) is a solution that configures, compiles and tracks case carts through the sterilization, picking, usage and decontamination life-cycle. It can be implemented as a stand along solution or as part of MSCM.

• Online tray configuration with images
• Tracking loaner trays and peel packs
• Detailed assembly instructions
• Online instrument catalog and tray lists
• Capture and track individual instrument IDs
• Capture sterilization data
• Productivity reporting for all activities

Reduce instrument and tray inventory Costs savings:
