Supply chain management for medical device and industrial programs
Vendor-managed and consignment inventory, kanban and blanket order releases, purchased-component sourcing and direct shipping to hospital systems and distributors, so finished product arrives from one accountable U.S. partner.
UTP Solutions manages the supply chain around the parts it makes, so customers deal with one supplier instead of several. UTP runs vendor-managed and consignment inventory, releases against kanban signals and blanket purchase orders, sources and manages purchased components such as fasteners, tubing and PCBAs, coordinates EtO and gamma sterilization and outside finishing through qualified suppliers, and ships finished goods directly to hospital systems, major medical distributors or customers' distribution centers.

Fewer vendors, less risk
- One purchase order. Molded and machined parts, purchased components and outside processing come together under one supplier.
- Stock where you need it. VMI, consignment and kanban programs keep parts available without tying up your cash or floor space.
- U.S. manufacturing. Machining, molding, tooling and assembly happen in one U.S. facility, so lead times don't depend on ocean freight.
- One lot record. Material certifications, supplier records and inspection data stay together through shipment.
