DePuy Orthopaedics Saves Over $40,000 Per Year With Syclo's Solution

DePuy Orthopaedics began business in 1895 as the world's first manufacturer of orthopaedic devices. Now, as a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, DePuy is headquartered in Warsaw, Ind., and is fully regulated by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In 2004, the company took decisive actions to better manage critical assets. Because its homegrown solution had proven insufficient, DePuy sought an improved way to manage and maintain assets and meet FDA operating requirements while controlling costs.

After exhaustive research, DePuy elected to implement an enterprise asset management (EAM) system with the Mobile Suite work management technology, powered by Syclo. DePuy also selected Strategic Maintenance Solutions (SMS) for systems integration because of the company's proven track record in the life sciences community. The combined technology helped DePuy extend asset life, meet production targets and generate accurate reports. It will ultimately serve as a consolidated EAM system for the DePuy Franchise.
