Many pharmaceutical companies want to manufacture high-quality products in the most cost-effective and compliant way possible. Dynamics 365 for Finance & Supply Chain Management allows you to easily manage the production and distribution of medications by offering integrated analytics and workflows. Not only does gaining control of data help pharmaceutical companies with their incredibly demanding production schedules, but it also allows businesses to ensure their equipment is performing at full capacity for maximum production efficiency. Further, using Dynamics 365 makes complying with current Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations, US Food and Drug Administration requirements, and other guidelines a lot more efficient. Using D365’s system data in the pharmaceutical industry allows organizations to reduce shelf-life expirations, meet everchanging guidelines, and improve overall production efficiency.
Ensure Centralized Quality Control and Compliance
Accelerate and simplify compliance with changing regulations and guidelines by retaining a high level of visibility and control of your supply chain. By using data analytics to trace and link raw materials through your production process, manufacturers can ensure centralized quality control while complying with regulatory agencies. Dynamics allows companies to simplify tasks such as instructions for lab technicians, dispensing requests, and ingredient calculations which not only ensure accuracy but also prevent cross-contamination across the supply chain. Users can further ensure compliance by using D365 functionality to quarantine release by the user and material type, printed material control/ obsolete components, lot control/ segregation, lot tracking, and drug and hazardous material reconciliation.
Tracking and Tracing
When pharma organizations implement tracking and tracing, the ingredients can be tracked and traced back throughout the supply chain. By using this data to determine the drug’s current and past locations, D365 makes it efficient to identify a drug’s authenticity prior to sale, dispensing, return or recall. This D365 functionality plays a crucial role in quality control, as it helps prevent faulty, counterfeit, or expired medications from entering the supply chain. The robust ERP system offers logistics processes that are essential for mobile-friendly access to real-time information about inventory and the status, shelf-life, and handling instructions for containers. Typically, such efforts to prevent producing non-compliant products and to meet regional/international regulations take significant time and resources. With Dynamics, pharmaceutical companies gain complete control over their manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain processes while reducing costs and saving time.
Optimize Operational Efficiency
The Dynamics 365 platform provides functionality that helps pharma companies address tightening regulatory requirements and increased expectations around transparency while meeting increasing demand. D365 gives pharmaceutical manufacturers the capabilities and efficiency they need to comply with parameters around visibility, safety, quality, validation, and even cost control. Here are some of the system’s features that can help you transform your market opportunity and profit:
