the Fact Sheet for the Life Science & Pharmaceutical Industry
(198MB)
Life sciences and pharmaceutical companies depend on high sales
margins, technological advances and rapid product introductions
for strong business growth. With Process Industries for Microsoft®
Dynamics AX® for the Life Sciences & Pharmaceuticals Industry,
you get the tools you need to manage the constrictions of such growth,
including shelf life constraints, cost pressures, competition from
generic and over-the-counter drugs, and strict regulatory requirements
around manufacturing and product approvals.
Optimize Manufacturing Resources to Expedite Profitable, New
Product  Introductions
With development costs approaching $800 million for each new product,
life sciences and pharmaceutical companies constantly strive to
bring products to market quickly, yet control costs by monitoring
operations at a detailed level, keeping a close watch on yields
and labor, tracking raw material usage, and planning production
shifts to maximize capacity. Process Industries for Microsoft Dynamics AX
for the Life Sciences & Pharmaceuticals Industry provides visibility
across all areas of your organization from finance to manufacturing
through integrated information and capabilities to speed the flow
of goods, eliminate waste due to costly shelf-life expirations and
returns, optimize production operations and gain increased efficiency
to meet new product introduction demands, while keeping costs at
a minimum.
Support for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Regulatory
Compliance
Regulatory agencies and government departments place specific requirements
on pharmaceutical manufacturers when implementing manufacturing
systems. Process Industries for Microsoft Dynamics AX for the Life Sciences
& Pharmaceuticals Industry supports GMP requirements including
electronic quarantines, quarantine release by user and material
type, printed material control/obsolete components, lot control/segregation,
lot tracking, and drug and hazardous reconciliation. The solution
documents standard processes, and tracks and logs operations and
results to support your detailed reporting requirements. Features
such as traceability, lot tracking and traceability, production
statistics reporting, specification management and change management
provide the control and predictability you need to detect and address
exceptions early, and consistently produce the highest quality products.
By tracking items from cradle to grave, your company can implement
effective recall procedures with complete forward and backward traceability
of any material.
Improve Production Planning and Inventory Management
Life sciences and pharmaceutical manufacturers handle active ingredients
that are often very expensive in small quantities so they are often
reused and/or recycled several times. Microsoft Dynamics AX for the Life
Sciences & Pharmaceuticals Industry models the processing and
reprocessing of such materials. It also helps minimize over-runs
and short-runs, and uses shelf-life tracking to take expiration
dates into consideration during production and into the distribution
process. You can also centrally manage co-products and by-products
in your formulas or recipes and always know the correct inventory
status for any given item.
