Case Studies

Beckman Coulter, Inc.

Beckman Coulter, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of biomedical testing instruments and associated supplies that simplify and automate laboratory processes.  Beckman has been using the AMAPS family of products since 1978. Beckman started with AMAPS/3000 (HP3000 based) and AMAPS/Q (Mainframe Based), and more recently has been using AMAPS+PLUS. "We thought we were very aggressive when we set a goal of an additional half million dollars in inventory reduction.  We were quite pleasantly surprised to see that we exceed this by almost 50%".

Dade Behring Corporation

Dade Behring, with 2004 revenues of nearly $1.6 billion, is the world's largest company dedicated solely to clinical diagnostics.  AMAPS, which was originally implemented when the operations were still owned by E.I. DuPont, is now being used at Dade plants in Delaware, Connecticut, and California.

Invacare

Invacare is the industry leader in home care medical products.  Invacare provides products such as wheelchairs and other mobility aids, home care beds, low air loss therapy products, bath safety products, and patient transport equipment.  Invacare began implementing AMAPS in their HP3000 data center in 1990 and uses AMAPS to plan production and procurement in all eight of their domestic plants.



Johnson & Johnson

Johnson & Johnson is the world's most comprehensive and broadly based manufacturer of health care products and related services for the consumer, pharmaceutical, medical device, and diagnostics markets.  J & J began implementation of AMAPS in its manufacturing facilities in the mid 1980’s and has subsequently used it to plan and control inventories and production and to provide FDA-required lot traceability in its McNeil Labs (Tylenol), Ortho Pharmaceuticals, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics and Ortho Biotech operations.
