About The Customer
Rehtek Machine Company is a New Jersey-based company that specializes in the production of micro-components. The company was founded in 1990 by Stephen and Paul Reh and has since grown to a team of 15 skilled workers. Rehtek produces micro-components for a variety of industries including medical, electronic, aerospace, and military. The parts they produce range in size from .01 inches in diameter to 1.5 inches, leaving little margin for mistakes. Quality, accuracy, and efficiency are critical priorities for the company.
The Challenge
Rehtek Machine Company, a producer of micro-components for various industries, was facing a challenge in meeting the strict documentation requirements for ISO certification. The company had been maintaining all its records on Excel spreadsheets, which was not efficient or effective for the purpose. The lack of a proper system for documentation was hindering the company's progress towards ISO certification, which was important for both their customers and their own quality assurance processes.
The Solution
To overcome their challenge, Rehtek adopted the E2 software. Initially, they were drawn to the software due to its ability to quickly and seamlessly create the documentation needed to meet ISO requirements. This allowed them to move forward with the certification process with confidence. However, they soon discovered that E2 was much more than just an ISO documentation tool. They began using E2 in virtually every step of their process, from quoting to invoicing. The software is used to quote jobs, track materials, schedule work, manage shipping, and control quality. E2 also integrates seamlessly with Quickbooks, which Rehtek uses for their accounting work.

Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.
