Reconstruction Of The ERP Supply Chain System Of Chinese Medical Equipment Enterprises

Medical commodities include medicines and medical devices.The quality of these goods is of great importance to the health and safety of the people.Compare with the strict supervision of drugs,the supervision of medical devices is lagging behind.But since December 12,2014,in order to strengthen the quality management during medical devices circulation,standardize medical management,ensure people safety of use of medical devices,the China Food and Drug Administration(hereinafter referred to as CFDA)issued fifty-eighth documents,meaning the medical devices good supply practice(referred to as GSP medical devices)formally is applied in our country.Medical devices GSP is a medical regulation for quality management of medical devices circulation enterprises(production enterprises for GMP),which CFDA referred to the drug GSP and finally issued.It is a set of quality management standards for medical devices in the process of commodity circulation,including purchase,inspection,storage,transportation,maintenance,sales and customer service and so on,to control all possible factors and prevent it from the quality accident.Its purpose is to utilize information technology to supervise and control the entire quality of medical device from factory,transportation,distribution to the end consumer.The essence of medical device GSP is supply chain quality management.It emphasizes that the quality of products depends not only on their manufacturing process,but also on their control in circulation process.As a medical device enterprise,we should not only guarantee the qualification of our own products,but also guarantee that we can purchase qualified products from legitimate channels and sell them to qualified downstream businesses.The enterprises are facing major changes for management processes(especially supply chain management process).Enterprises must cooperate with upstream and downstream enterprises to transform processes,so as to adapt to the changes brought by GSP and meet GSP.The realization of medical device GSP has put forward high requirements to the computer information system of the enterprise.Considering the reality that most enterprises have utilized ERP system,the purpose of this paper is to build up a general ERP system model that applied to medical devices GSP and help medical devices enterprise to fulfill GSP with low cost.To achieve that,based on the theory of process re-engineering,supply chain quality management,I analyzed the traditional ERP system,re-constructed the sub-systems such as purchase,warehouse,sales,quality and human resources.The model is characterized by the whole process of quality management.Medical devices enterprises can apply this model with faster time,lower cost and slightly configuration according to their own practice.This paper also describes that how to successfully implement the model and the implementation of this model in the enterprise A.
