INDUSTRY CHALLENGE
Today’s SAP Pharmaceutical Manufacturers are under relentless pressure to implement Lean Manufacturing initiatives that help reduce costs, shorten cycle times, and improve product quality while maintaining stringent regulatory compliance

They require innovative solutions that leverage existing investments in both their core enterprise business systems as well as the IT infrastructure. How can they extend the control and visibility that exist within the enterprise to the effort that takes place on the plant floor?

Defined as “Manufacturing Execution”, the work-steps and events taken on the shop floor, isn’t robust functionality that resides within the traditional ERP system. Until now, organizations have been forced to work with traditional MES solutions to fill this gap. Thus requiring a much higher Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) with too much functional overlap and integration challenges between the existing back-end ERP, Laboratory Information Systems (LIMS) and Process Historians.
