Problem:

With a tremendous surge in growth, UMC realized the need to upgrade their ERP system and add an Integrated Quality System. Requirements included the support of both Medical Device and Aerospace and Defense compliance standards in one system, which would provide a broad platform for growth tailored to meet their extensive client needs.

Solutions:

UMC chose Epicor Vantage for their ERP needs and Epicor Advanced Quality Management powered by IQS for their quality and compliance requirements. Since IQS quality processes support the highest standard level, UMC is able to leverage IQS across industry verticals for industry compliance requirements such as 21 CFR Part 11, AS9100, ISO9001, and ISO 13485 certifications.

Results:

• Reduced medical device customer audit from a half day to 2 hours.

• Everyone is working from the same data, at all times and across multiple operations.
• The document control process is automated and tied to workflow rules for more efficient processing and to drive accountability.
