How Can Life Sciences Manufacturers
Minimize Risk in Electronic Processing?
Life Sciences organizations are inundated with a large amount of information to manage related to their customer-facing, manufacturing and supply chain processes. Specific records are required to log every procedure and step involved in customer orders, the procurement of materials and the manufacturing and distribution of each product produced. Previously, all information was captured in unstructured files and then printed and manually acted upon as paper forms. For Life Sciences companies who meet FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations, electronic records and signatures can legally replace their traditional paper counterparts. The move to electronic records is about efficiency, moving to tighter controls and improvements in their customers’ experience. When the stakes are high, specific compliance expertise is essential to pull everything together swiftly and accurately. full story here
