Single source of information transforms data resources into actionable information.

Product recalls are one of the life sciences industry’s greatest risks and cost contributors. From lawsuits, to lost revenue, to plummeting consumer confidence, one recall can bring a pharmaceutical company to its knees.

For pharmaceutical companies, the key to preventing product recalls and delivering higher quality products and services lies in securing and optimizing the manufacturing process. With disconnected information sources, and limited visibility into manufacturing and quality management processes, most pharmaceutical companies’ manufacturing processes are inefficient, at best.

As an innovator with a long track record for success, one pharmaceutical company is leading the way when it comes to developing a single, easily accessible repository for all manufacturing information. As a result, this company is raising the level of quality product and services it delivers to healthcare organizations as well as consumers.

Working side by side with our client, we built a data model that would serve as the basis for integrating global manufacturing and test data. Creating a single repository of information that connects multiple manufacturing, ERP and quality systems gives our client greater visibility into critical information.

This visibility enables the company to perform the process analysis necessary to enhance its manufacturing methodologies for greater consistency, accelerated product delivery and improved product quality.

In addition, the solution included a data warehouse model that follows ISA-95 standards, enabling it to grow with the pharmaceutical company as it develops new lines of business, acquires other companies and continues to expand to meet the healthcare needs of consumers.

Today, our client’s sophisticated data model pulls together information sources from the company’s multiple manufacturing sites, which are located across the globe and often consist of disparate systems from different software providers.

The integrated data warehouse is accessible by teams who help identify trends and share best practices that can be implemented across the company. Process optimization tools, dashboards, and KPI reports make the myriads of information easy to read and analyze. Having a single source of information transforms the company’s rich data resources into actionable information, which enables the company to be even more proactive at implementing process improvements globally.

This unprecedented access to business intelligence information provides our client with the ability to minimize product failures and costs, optimize manufacturing processes, and improve consistency, all while maintaining the highest product standards in the industry.
