Integrating LIMS and ERP for Faster QA/QC Processes
Pharmaceutical company with separate LIMS and ERP systems
Fragmented data exchange between LIMS and ERP forced manual data entry and caused delays in QA and QC.
The challenge
The situation
Fragmented data exchange between the laboratory information management system and the ERP system led to manual data entry, increased workload and frequent errors.
Our approach
What we delivered
Gap assessment of the interface between LIMS and ERP
Mapping of the affected QA and QC processes, to locate the points at which data was being transferred by hand.
Training of users for the integrated workflows
The outcome
Results & impact
30% faster QA/QC cycle time
Improved cycle time of QA and QC processes through the integration.
No manual data entry
Elimination of manual data transfer between LIMS and ERP.
No transfer errors
Elimination of errors from manual data entry.
In summary
LIMS and ERP work in an integrated way; QA and QC run faster and without manual data transfer and its associated sources of error.
