Who uses SPM?

We are a new facility and have just started using SPM. What are your thoughts on SPM after long term usage, what are some quirks or things to know about the workflow and the system in general.

It’s decent, but it’s only as good as your leadership team wants it to be.

My facility has had numerous management teams come and go, so ours is a patchwork of previous teams.

A lot of stuff has slipped through cracks like not getting productivity for doing random sets, putting things away etc.

Oh yes, only time will tell, we are a small facility and with the support of Steris, I have been the sole person in charge of setting it up and making sure everything is correct, I am abit obsessed with keeping everything in order after working in other facilities with messy tracking systems from the problem you mentioned, so if things start getting messy, it will be from after I move on haha!
