Our Logistics Department is tucked away in the far reaches of the finished goods warehouse, so far so that many people may only see the results of our hardworking team's efforts. The Logistics Department is made up of 5 fun and friendly folks whose experience and expertise help keep COBE Cardiovascular's products moving smoothly through the supply chain pipeline. Our goal is the seamless movement from the origin of the raw materials overseas to the final delivery point of a hospital or a perfusionist's office.

Kevin, the Logistics Manager, oversees the entire warehouse operation from A to Z or Receiving to Shipping and all areas in between. The Logistics Operations Manager, Steve, is responsible for 3 off-site Distribution Centers as well as a broad range of responsibilities including the day-to-day operations of the rest of the Logistics Department. Cory, the Logistics Coordinator and Tom, Inventory Operations Coordinator, ensure that inventory is accurate, support the Distribution Centers and work with carriers to prevent damage that may occur during shipping. As Transportation Analyst, Martha's main focus is the movement of freight in and out of the warehouse with an emphasis on international freight and the Stöckert and Dideco drop shipment programs.

The Logistics Department at COBE Cardiovascular offers many behind-the-scene resources to better serve our customers. In order to insure the speedy and accurate delivery of our vital products, COBE Cardiovascular has set up remote warehouses, or distribution centers, to ensure that our products can reach the Customer's hands in time for a life saving medical procedure. This can mean the next business day or even the same day in the case of an emergency. We have distribution centers in Puerto Rico, Baltimore which serves the east coast, Atlanta, servicing the south and lastly Dallas, servicing Texas and the southwest. The main facility in Arvada supplies product to the West and the states surrounding Colorado.

The current Logistics Team has been working together for over 2 years and in that time has accomplished a great deal. The "average shipping effectiveness from order entry to product leaving the building on the same day" is 99%. By working diligently with our DCs and our own shipping department, we have ensured that shipping accuracy is at a stellar 99.76%. The Logistics Team also works very closely with both our domestic and international carriers for an impressive 99.63% in on-time shipments.

Looking forward, the Logistics Team will continue to find ways to better service our Customers while keeping freight costs low and "on-time" shipping high. We are proud of our accomplishment but, of course, could not do them without the support of the rest of COBE Cardiovascular. If you have any questions or suggestions for us, don't hesitate to contact Steve, Kevin, Tom, Cory, or Martha.
