What are the advantages of ERP in pharmaceutical industry?

Efficient management of batch recipes is the most important and complex aspect of ERP system for the pharmaceutical industry. Every aspect of a pharmaceutical recipe must be documented. Here are some of the details required to be documented.

ingredients and information of their technical compositions, how much the ingredient cost and how much it cost to prepare the ingredient for use, and historical data about the ingredients, how they were received and from where, how they were stored, how they were processed/manufactured, how they were prepared for packaging, how they were packaged, where stored before shipping and all shipping data. Again, when any one aspect is altered, it changes the rest of the processes.

Pharmaceutical companies need to have an effective management application method to keep all this data in a proper manner and use them efficiently whenever required. Selection of a right ERP system is very important, especially one that is familiar with the pharmaceutical industry is crucial to gaining the most when it comes to financial savings and increased efficiencies.

Pharmaceutical companies that have implemented eresource ERP are gaining competitive advantages in their operational method.

Understanding cGMP Compliance

Compliance and pharmaceuticals have a long association, although the development of each of these has been at a different pace. Pharmaceuticals and other health care products came first and whilst there was a concern with both the safety of the patient and proving the efficacy of the medicine, this was erratic, in varying from drug-to-drug and from country-to-country, and was not codified.

In the wake of some appalling incidents which resulted in the deaths of many patients, which were discussed and debated in the mid-part of the twentieth century, two pioneering acts in the USA and the UK, both in the 1960s, led to the formation of what is now known as 'Good Manufacturing Practices' (GMP).

The collective body of GMP evolved through the 1970s to the 1990s, drawing in aspects of operations management, extending out to drug distribution, and improving upon cleanroom design and operations, to name but a few.

Whilst compliance aspects of pharmaceutical drug development and manufacture have been enshrined most notably in the FDA Code of Federal Regulations and with the European Union GMPs, there has always been the dimension of 'c' GMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices), a space within which Quality assurance personnel are required to occupy in order to understand and develop new technologies and ways of working which will enhance the quality of medicinal products. .

ERP software system in Pharmaceutical Industry

Pharmaceutical-specific ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software system is the most effective way to identify and track every single raw material from receipt through processing, packaging and shipping, to the exact customer location. If that is the case then what prevents from many small and medium Indian enterprises keeping away from implementing this effective tool.

The advantage of ERP software for pharmaceutical manufacturers are that it can effortlessly track lot properties while optimizing and improving other business processes like batch production, sales functions, inventory control, purchasing, quality assurance, accounting and financials, regulatory reporting etc.

It has been proved beyond doubt that implementation of ERP systems not only gives more transparency to your business process but also it allows your business to operate more efficiently, predictably and more profitably. Implementing an industry-compatible ERP system will not only meet the traceability requirements, but also seamlessly link all departments, resulting in streamlined operations, maximized productivity, and increased profitability.

While choosing an ERP system you should consider both its ability to track every raw material from receipt through finished product delivery, and its adaptability to your unique manufacturing process.

Despite these benefits of ERP software system, there are still many small and medium companies who are relectant to implement an ERP system. The main reason for this attitude is attributed to the cost factor. Though we do not deny the fact that implementation of an ERP system can consume a substantial amount, there are many other options to overcome this. Today there are Cloud ERP, and SaaS ERP (Software as a Service) systems are available in the market which is affordable to everyone. You may write to us for more information on this facility.

Pharmaceutical ERP

Implementing an Pharmaceutical ERP system will not only meet the traceability requirements, but also seamlessly link all departments, resulting in streamlined operations, maximized productivity, and increased profitability.

FDA Compliance ERP

The Pharma industry faces the task of meeting all FDA regulatory requirements including ISO 13485 and 21 CFR Part 11, and other ISO compliance standards. From discovery to clinical trials to patient delivery, introducing quality assurance to pharmaceuticals and their markets is often a long, involved process. In addition to the costs incurred in obtaining FDA approval, the expenditure to mass-produce products for the market can be substantial. Delays in delivering new medicine means lost revenue - to the tune of millions of rupees per day. This, coupled with the initial R&D investment, makes the business of introducing new medicines an expensive endeavor.

Challenges Facing Pharma Industry

As required by 21 CFR Part 11, a secure environment must be maintained, and the Pharmaceutical industry must be validated to maintain electronic signature integrity. Pharmaceutical ERP system such as Eresource is a FDA Compliance Software which has been designed specifically for this industry, and the system hs been developed with the test scripts necessary to ease system validation. The FDA Compliance Software is usable right out of the box, and configurations are executed at the server level, the need for extensive validation across the enterprise is less than comparative Quality Management and FDA Compliance Management Software systems in the market.

Demand for Innovation

The Pharmaceutical industry must offer the most innovative products in order to stay ahead of the competition and meet customer requirements. This aspect of the industry makes change necessary. ERP system is the best option for managing an effective business process for all pharmaceutical industries like manufacturers of vitamins, natural health and dietary supplement apart from the mainstream pharmaceutical products. ERP systems like Eresource ERP has been recognized as the best solution because it offer a complete integrated application that suits the company's needs in all counts. Real-time access to data and an easy to use interface are can be termed innovative.
