Case Study: Cook Medical achieves streamlined FDA compliance and faster reporting with Accruent's Maintenance Connection

How Cook Medical created an organized database of all assets, past equipment failures, and service history to improve processes

Cook Medical, a Bloomington, Indiana–based medical device manufacturer that produces more than 16,000 products across dozens of specialties, was hampered by a fully paper-based maintenance system. With assets spread across the plant and thousands of daily products to track, the company faced inefficient work-order tracking, time-consuming audits, and the challenge of meeting strict FDA and regulatory requirements.

After deploying Accruent’s Maintenance Connection CMMS, Cook Medical created a centralized asset and service-history database, automated preventive maintenance schedules and work orders, and enabled instant, real-time reporting. The solution cut reporting time by 3–4 hours, reduced downtime with proactive alerts, improved work-order visibility and staffing, and provided validated records to streamline FDA compliance.
