Case Study: Leading Medical Device Manufacturer achieves data-silo elimination and 5x faster lead times with Specright

How a Leading Medical Device Producer Took Control of Packaging to Fight the COVID-19 Pandemic

Leading Medical Device Manufacturer faced major packaging-specification bottlenecks after decades of growth left them with nearly 5,000 specs (only ~2,300 in active use). Packaging teams spent hours each week hunting PDFs across systems, often creating duplicate specs and inflating SKUs—an untenable situation given the company’s role supplying critical medical products during the COVID‑19 pandemic. To solve this, they chose Specright and its Specification Management platform to centralize and digitize packaging data.

Specright delivered a searchable single source of truth (including the Like Item Finder) that stopped duplicate specs, sped packaging development, and enabled better change control and reporting. The company reported compiling reports in under five minutes, realized ROI in two months, eliminated duplicate data, reduced $200,000 in scrap, and cut project lead times (one IV bag project from 40 weeks to 8 weeks and another to 4 weeks, preventing a vaccine-site shutdown), while rationalizing SKUs and improving sustainability.
