• Preventative Maintenance Plans: We implement preventative maintenance on all equipment to minimize downtime and ensure consistent quality control.

Full Traceability: Your Guarantee of Quality

Integrating its ERP system with manufacturing processes, AVNA ensures visibility and traceability throughout production. This translates to:

• Instantaneous Access to Documentation: All relevant documentation, including work process instructions, visual standards, and controlled forms, are readily available within the system and accessible as needed throughout the manufacturing process.
• Real-time Visibility: Our intuitive control panel provides a snapshot of each work order, allowing you to track progress, identify work centers, operations, and job numbers associated with each lot.
• Part Tracking: You’ll have complete visibility into part numbers, revisions, job quantities, parts produced, remaining balance, and weekly totals.
• Color-coded Status Indicators: Our highly visible digital visual shop floor plan utilizes color-coded icons to clearly communicate the status of first piece inspections, operation inspections, quality audits, and SPC checks.
• Automated Poka-Yoke System: We’ve implemented a “fail-safe” system to ensure all quality checks are completed prior to label printing and only the highest quality parts are shipped and delivered to our medtech customers for their life-saving and improving devices.
