Laerdal Medical upgrades to QAD Enterprise ERP

Laerdal CFO Egil Mathisen says that the latest QAD ERP release offers too many new capabilities to refuse – with facilities to improve personal productivity and management decision making. "In addition to the functionality, QAD's industry knowledge of the medical device marketplace will help us to rapidly implement a global core model across all of our sites, utilising QAD's best practice process maps," he adds. Mathisen also cites the latest release's ability to support flexible business processes across multiple business units, and its multiple language support and internationalisation as key reasons for the upgrade. QAD Enterprise Applications is well known for its life sciences manufacturing support, with functionality ranging from good manufacturing practice (cGMP) compliance to Corrective and Preventative Actions (CAPA), eSignature and Device History Records, as well as tools to assist in validation.
