SUPPLY CHAIN
personnel , state-of-the-art equipment and effective processes and protocols provide an all-encompassing solution for medical device manufacturers . “ We can manage the entire back end of a client ’ s supply chain , meaning we can do all of their distribution needs , from finished goods to loaner kits . Loaner kits being the instruments that are used to deliver the implants . We can turn those around , bring those in , inspect them , replenish them , have them ready for another surgery within 24 hours , and ship those out ,” advises Schwarz .
“ We can also bring in field returns . As the field compiles inventory , they can send them back to us and we can inspect it , repackage it if necessary and put it back in the inventory . And we can also do mechanical inspection of brand new products , so right from the manufacturer , do a full mechanical inspection , and then package them up again and have that ready to go out for surgeries .”
EU expansion Already supplying domestically and to Canada , Millstone plans to expand its footprint in the future , targeting the EU within the next 18-24 months . “ The plan is to expand internationally , as well as expand the service offerings that we ’ re providing .
