Confluent Medical, a leading materials science, design and manufacturing partner for medical device manufacturers, is leveraging Kinaxis technology to deliver end-to-end has significantly improved its supply chain. The medical technology innovator, which provides medical devices such as life-saving implants and minimally invasive delivery systems, introduced Kinaxis® with support from Genpact in August 2023 to improve supply chain visibility and efficiency. I was able to increase it.
Confluent Medical specializes in the design, development, and large-scale manufacturing of catheter-based devices and Nitinol components, a special metal alloy with superelasticity and shape memory properties. With eight facilities in the U.S. and Costa Rica, 2,000 employees, and a range of products including complex catheters and precision polymer tubing and implantable fibers, the company’s ability to respond quickly to any changes in its supply chain is paramount. It is important.
said Jeff McCown, vice president of global supply chain at Confluent Medical . “When demand almost doubled, we were able to adjust our supply chain in a matter of weeks instead of normally taking months. Before Kinaxis technology, we were able to adjust our supply chain to In my career, I used separate spreadsheets. No one was on the same page, and if a change happened somewhere in the supply chain, no one else knew. I’ve used other solutions, but I’ve never seen one that allows me to deploy and improve as quickly and efficiently as Kinaxis.”
Claire Lichlewski, vice president of global field sales at Kinaxis, said: “Creating this kind of impact is what drives us. Confluent’s vision is to improve people’s lives by providing world-class medical devices through innovative materials science, engineering, and manufacturing. We look forward to supporting that vision; this is a great achievement for both companies.”
Genpact will begin designing the Confluent Medical solution in late 2022, and deployment to more facilities and users is already underway.
Kinaxis works with the world’s leading companies in consumer goods, automotive, advanced technology, life sciences, and more. Its AI-powered technology and patented co-enablement technology allows companies to orchestrate their supply chain networks end-to-end, from strategic planning to last-mile delivery.
