Implementation and Replacement of an Engineering Drawing Solution in a Pharmaceutical Manufacturing from an Information Technology Standpoint
Zusammenfassung
The pharmaceutical industry is a
highly and strictly regulated environment. The
quality, support and management of its processes
and data generated are important aspects this type
of industry needs to sustain. The department of
Information Technology (IT) is accountable for
most of these processes driven by regulatory
agencies and Good Manufacturing Practices. One
of the many businesses Information Technology
leverages is the Engineering Information
Management (EIM). The influence of technology in
manufacturing has evolved to a point where it is
possible to have interconnected and integrated
systems across global companies. A Commercial
off-the-shelf software product was selected in an
initiative, from the global Manufacturing
Pharmaceutical Company X, to replace their
multiple solutions to a single one; standardizing
global procedures, increasing efficiency and
improving end user experience in the process.
Lean Six Sigma methodology was used to define
requirements and to develop a global strategy for
implementation of the solution.
