Quality Process and Inspection

Advanced Scientifics’ quality management system is intertwined with its manufacturing system through the use of Advanced Scientifics’ enterprise resource planning (ERP) software called “Made 2 Manage.” This is an easy-to-use, high-quality ERP software that improves operational efficiencies, customer satisfaction, and financial performance. The item master, product print, routing, and bill of materials are all controlled by revision level within Made 2 Manage. Also, Advanced Scientifics’ “E-Ordering System” uses barcoding for all raw materials, routings, and so on.

From incoming raw material inspection through the entire manufacturing process to the final finished product, Advanced Scientifics’ ERP and quality management system is one of the industry’s fastest and strongest, making the company a leader in quality manufacturing. Advanced Scientifics’ quality system is accessible throughout the facility, giving all personnel access to quality files such as SOPs, STMs, SWPs, quality and employee manuals, and so on.

Specialized Product Delivery in 3–4 Weeks

After design, assembly, and packaging have been completed, Advanced Scientifics will further manage the sterilization of each single-use system. The company has validated this irradiation process to ensure that each product meets and exceeds the highest industry standards regarding sterility and validation, delivering a finished sterile product in three to four weeks.
