Efficiency Is Key to Our System

With a complete understanding of a customer’s demand forecast, existing printed materials, parts specifications and inventory targets, CCL Healthcare will plan the most efficient production strategy individualized to each client’s unique requirements and production setting. This personalized approach can bring efficiency to both parties’ operations without sacrificing service or quality. CCL Healthcare increases productivity by automating certain non-value-added steps, such as materials management and other administrative processes.

Just-in-Time Ordering/Reduced Lead Time

Our automated Supply Chain Planning (SCP) system can help condense processes in the supply chain. Using a customer’s forecast data, it can automatically manage material supplies, printing and production. Cartons, labels and other printed items are delivered using the aptly named Just-In-Time manufacturing process. 

Customers can order what they want and the required amount and indicate when the products are needed. Efficient programs can be devised to manage frequent label changes that may occur due to regulatory updates or new market demands. 

Reduced Inventory Levels and Obsolescence Risk

Supply Chain Printing can automatically streamline the printing process to support Just-In-Time ordering. This reduces inventory levels and minimizes the risk of outdated, obsolescent labels. CCL Healthcare’s medical supply chain management system can cut down on the amount of storage space needed by effectively eliminating customers’ need to store excessive amounts of safety stock.

Flexibility Is Built Into Our Supply Chain Planning System

CCL Healthcare’s supply chain planning system makes the inventory network more responsive. We track customer demand through the SCP system, which allows us to react faster by not having to wait for customers to provide purchase orders. 

This highly sensitive, interactive supply chain planning solution consults with customers on a weekly or even daily basis to monitor order behavior. The Supply Chain system automatically searches for spikes, and CCL Healthcare can capture them to predict needs and stay consistently ahead of demand.

Cost Reduction Benefits of CCL Healthcare Supply Chain Planning

By moving to a professional automated supply chain management system, customers can consistently achieve desired delivery times and fill rates utilizing the lowest possible investment in inventory.
