The Challenge
Roberts Precision Machine, a machine shop in Monroe, Washington, decided to pursue ISO certification to gain credibility and be more successful in the competitive medical device manufacturing market. The company had been using the E2 machine shop software platform for over a decade, which had helped them streamline processes, eliminate redundant tasks, and increase efficiency and profitability. However, the challenge lay in meeting the stringent ISO requirements, particularly in terms of documentation. The company needed to have their processes documented and a written quality assurance process in place to be certified.
About The Customer
Roberts Precision Machine is a machine shop based in Monroe, Washington. The company has been a user of the E2 machine shop software platform for more than 10 years. The E2 platform has helped the company streamline its processes, eliminate redundant tasks, and become more efficient and profitable. The leadership team at Roberts Precision Machine decided to pursue ISO certification to stay ahead of the competition. They believed that ISO certification would give them the credibility to be even more successful in the competitive medical device manufacturing market.
The Solution
To meet the ISO certification requirements, Roberts Precision Machine decided to implement the Rapid Documentation System, an E2 module that helps create quality documentation. The Rapid Documentation System uses the data that already exists in the E2 manufacturing software to generate the documentation, which is one of the biggest obstacles to getting certified. The company also enlisted the help of Glenn Sherman, one of Shoptech Software’s in-house ISO experts. Glenn visited the machine shop twice, first for a consultation and analysis of their current situation, and second to conduct a practice audit. This helped the business anticipate potential issues that could arise during the official ISO audit. When the official ISO audit arrived, the shop was fully prepared with documentation and processes that met ISO’s standards.

ELI LILLY ADOPTS MICROMEDIA’S ALERT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
Pharmaceutical production is subject to a strict set of enforced rules that must be adhered to and compliance to these standards is critically necessary. Due to the efforts of WIN 911’s strategic partner Micromedia, Lilly was able to adopt an alarm notification infrastructure that integrated smoothly with their existing workflows and emergency hardware and protocols. These raw energy sources enable the industrial process to function: electricity, WIN-911 Software | 4020 South Industrial Drive, Suite 120 | Austin, TX 78744 USA industrial steam, iced water, air mixtures of varying quality. Refrigeration towers, boilers and wastewater are monitored by ALERT. Eli Lilly identified 15000 potential variables, but limitations compelled them to chisel the variable list down to 300. This allowed all major alarms to be covered including pressure, discharge, quantity of waste water discharged,temperature, carbon dioxide content, oxygen & sulphur content, and the water’s pH.

Big risks requires big data thinking: helping clients target and prevent fraud
EY's clients are increasingly seeking growth in markets with higher perceived levels of fraud, bribery, and corruption risk. Regulators and law enforcement bodies are intensifying their activities, leading to significant corporate investment in employee training, policy development, and internal audit procedures designed to raise awareness of anti-fraud or anti-corruption policies. Many companies have also increased the use of more sophisticated, proactive uses of forensic data analytics (FDA) capabilities designed to prevent and detect areas of fraud, waste, and abuse. However, traditional rules-based tests and spreadsheet tools are not effective in managing these risks. EY needed a solution that could help them get ahead of the curve and squash potential threats before they escalate.

The preparation of financial reports in accordance with international accounting standards (IFRS and US-GAAP [Generally Accepted Account Principles]) as well as in different currencies (Euro and US dollars) is a very complex and expensive process. The legal importance and reputational value of these standardized quarterly and annual reports for listed companies require the financial reports to be of a consistently high quality. However, the requirements for the structure and content of these reports are constantly increasing, while the submission deadlines get tighter.
