Life Science Manufacturing Challenges

Are Manual Processes Slowing Your Life Science Operations?

Regulatory Compliance Burden

Manual documentation and paper-based batch records create compliance risks with an average of 12-18 deviations per batch. Life science companies spend 40% of quality team time on documentation review instead of value-added activities.

Slow Technology Transfer

Transferring processes from development to manufacturing takes 18-24 months with manual systems. Each tech transfer requires recreating 200 documents and retraining 30 operators on paper-based procedures.

Limited Process Visibility

Manufacturing teams lack real-time production data making it impossible to identify deviations before batch completion. Average response time to process issues is 4-6 hours resulting in increased batch failures.

Life Science Automation Impact

  • 60% reduction in batch cycle time
  • 75% decrease in documentation errors
  • 99.9% batch record accuracy

Merck Animal Health installed and started up a new automated packaging line. Due to resource constraints, GMP Pros was contracted to create IOPQ protocols and execute the protocols. GMP Pros provided excellent day-to-day communications. This included status updates, specific information or direction needed and draft documents for review. Bottom Line = GMP Pros provided excellent service with very little direction. Their experience is a testament to the service they can provide.
