The status of the Procurement of the Material is available for review at each process stage in the Procurement cycle
Purchase return management
Purchase rate variance against standard rate
2. Inventory Management and Control
This Stores Management module automates the receipt, storage and issue processes from the Purchase Order generated by the Purchase Management module to the Manufacturing / Packaging Record. Materials are received from vendors at the Warehouse Stores at batch / lot levels and are placed in the quarantine area.
Goods Receipt & Inventory Management: Follow‐on activity to purchase order
GRN captures information like vendor's batch, AR Number, system keeps track of multiple dates at the batch level, including Expiration, Manufactured, Best Before, Shelf Life, Re‐test dates etc.
Material, in excess of tolerance limits, is checked.
Generation of intimation to QC for quality control activities, Quality Control (QC) draws standard quantities as samples and performs various tests based on the Pharmacopoeia grade and then approves / rejects the same.
Stock Status: The stock in a warehouse is categorized as Open (unrestricted), Under Inspection / Analysis (restricted) and Blocked / on Hold
The Stock Statement is available for any desired material and desired period
Material Issue or Dispensing is according to stage wise Bill of Materials (BOM) that is defined for each product. Store generates a pick list and material tickets to facilitate materials moving to production.
The system suggests an issue logic, which is based on ‘First Expiry First Out’ (FEFO), generation of Requisition and issues (RM / PM) on Potency basis after applying assay and LOD factors in issuance of materials.
ABC analysis, FSN Analysis / Helps in reduction in unnecessary inventories
The module also features extra usage requirements, usage returns, stock adjustments etc.
Interface with Production, Quality and Finance (Accounts Payable) modules
3. Production Planning and batch Management
Product formula / BoM: Enables to define formula consisting of Raw Material (RM), Coating Material (CM) and Packing Material (PM) for theoretical batch size of the product.
Materials resource planning on the basis of sales orders and routine production demands, system has provision to pull out three months advance planning of production batches accordingly requirement of raw, packing materials is generated to optimize and reduce inventory carrying costs where working capital in hugely engaged.
Facilitates to define various tasks / operations for Batch manufacturing (BMR) and
Packing Process (BPR)
The Batch Manufacturing Record (BMR) and the Batch Packaging Record (BPR) is a stage wise capture of material inputs to the batch and the stage wise declaration of production output and yield.
This BMR / BPR tracks the manufacturing process of formulation through its various stages – the system provides for capture of stage wise bill of materials. Excess materials consumed in the batch or returned from the batch are traced to the BMR / BPR. This facilitates the generation of stage wise batch cost.
Production WIP is tracked at each stage in the manufacture of bulk and packaging.
Hence Product batch wise WIP valuations are constantly available.
Production Process: Facilitates step‐by‐step entry of the batch manufacturing process maintaining complete documents for the same (adherence to cGMP).
Allocation of manpower and equipment utilization task‐wise, facility to enter IPQC Results for the task / operation
