Overview
In the pharmaceutical industry, manual analysis planning in quality control entails a detailed and methodical process for scheduling and coordinating diverse testing and analysis tasks. This approach involves careful consideration of factors such as testing priorities, available resources, equipment availability, and regulatory requirements to ensure the systematic and accurate evaluation of pharmaceutical products.
However, the planning and tracking of samples in a QC lab are undeniably intricate tasks. Unfortunately, these tasks often resort to the use of Excel sheets or manual data recording, leading to a notable decrease in the efficiency of the Quality Control Laboratory.
Hence Webosphere Introduced eSPM software for planning and scheduling in the QC laboratories. eSPM stands as an advanced QC planning software.
This low-code, web-based solution is meticulously crafted to fulfill the intricate needs of QC Labs, seamlessly addressing the planning, scheduling, and tracking requirements for resources and samples, encompassing equipment, manpower, batch-sample analyses, and more. With automated resource planning and scheduling, eSPM significantly elevates efficiency and productivity, streamlining QC operations effortlessly.
It facilitates a substantial increase in the efficiency of the QC Lab by automatically generating reports that provide insights into the performance of instruments and analysts, contributing to enhanced operational effectiveness.
Additionally, it aids in monitoring the individual efficiency of analysts. This software proficiently tracks analysis delays, enabling the implementation of timely actions to eliminate further setback.
Industry Challenges
⦿ Quality control labs are tasked with planning numerous sample analyses, encompassing finished goods, raw materials, intermediates, and more.Unfortunately, the prevailing practice involves planning these analyses either through Excel sheets or manual data entry.
⦿ Daily, long meetings are conducted to plan and track the status of the analysis, thus decreasing the efficiency.
⦿ It’s very challenging to track the resources manually (i.e., identifying when the instrument will be idle, when the analyst completes their analysis).
⦿ Rescheduling of samples becomes arduous, when there is a need to perform an urgent sample analysis.
⦿ Generating occupancy reports of instruments like HPLC, GC and other instruments is strenuous.
⦿ Calculating the efficiency of the ais difficult with manual analysis planning.
⦿ During the Investigations like OOS, OOT, LI it becomes difficult to allot the resources.
⦿ Increases the operational costs due to uneven distribution of the workload on workforces.
⦿ Determining the reasons behind the delay in analysis is difficult with manual planning as the process is not visible in real-time.
⦿ Tracking of delays in sample receipt from production (Committed dates for sample submission) is difficult.
