SAP ERP solutions for the biopharmaceutical industry

Due to the unique nature of the biopharmaceutical industry, the supplier/customer admission management component based on pharmaceutical raw materials can help biopharmaceutical enterprises effectively identify and audit raw material suppliers, customers, and distributors.

Supplier management involves inputting comprehensive qualifications, scale, quality certification system, business license and other qualification information of suppliers into the system. At the same time, it also has historical procurement data. When purchasing orders, the purchaser selects the actual qualifications and product information of suppliers based on the validity of the data, and controls product quality from the source.

Customer management, based on the management guidelines of the Food and Drug Administration, allows salespeople to obtain real-time basic customer information and strictly manage the sales channels of drugs and vaccines.

TransInfo biopharmaceutical ERP solution is aimed at biopharmaceutical enterprises to achieve formula production and production based on the similarities and differences of pharmaceutical types.

The SAP ERP biopharmaceutical solution based on formula management can effectively support production models with multiple inputs and outputs:

It can support five types of inputs: material type, equipment type, labor type, miscellaneous type, and operation specification instruction type. At the same time, it can automatically calculate the quantity of materials used and accurately determine the use of materials (moisture, purity, content, etc.)

In order to collect quality inspection information more comprehensively, a pre-set quality inspection plan is specified for each type of input and output link. With the support of a comprehensive data model, the software can comprehensively collect and produce costs and quality inspection results related to the entire process.

Support the function of expanding formulas, which can combine multiple formulas to form a new processing process, used to define inventory data, simplify and standardize all processes between production, inventory, and cost activities.

For the storage management of biopharmaceuticals, TransInfo biopharmaceutical ERP provides a complete product lifecycle management component to help enterprises manage the validity period of raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products of biopharmaceuticals.

The supply chain management system provides accurate information on the entry of raw materials/semi-finished products into the warehouse. The production department can fully consider the validity period of raw materials and semi-finished products during production and material requisition, achieving flexible production and material requisition, and providing early warning for expired waste and stagnant materials in the warehouse.

The warehouse management system effectively controls the entry and exit of finished products, strictly manages their validity and shelf life, and promptly and effectively processes expired products.

TransInfo biopharmaceutical ERP software helps enterprises develop effective production plans, achieve effective control over key nodes in the entire order execution process, and meet and help pharmaceutical enterprises pass the GMP review of the Food and Drug Administration.

Covering the batch demand planning subsystem, enterprises can better prepare production plans and material procurement plans for products and semi-finished products at each stage according to orders, and schedule production reasonably based on product or equipment capacity, improving the enforceability of production plans.

At the same time, effective control is implemented over the procurement and inventory management of raw materials, production workshop and equipment management, quality supervision and traceability processes at each business node, helping to establish a transparent and traceable production process that meets the GMP review of the Food and Drug Administration.

TransInfo biopharmaceutical ERP software provides the function of batch number management for all incoming and outgoing materials, matching various materials, semi-finished products, and finished products with a traceable batch number and serial number, establishing efficient and transparent quality management standards.

• Provided batch number management function:

For products sold out, in maintenance management, the solution provides serial number management. When there is a problem with a product, the problem status can be recorded in detail, and the original production status and raw materials of the product can be tracked. In turn, the same batch of products of the product can be found, as well as the sales or inventory status of these products, and a quick recall can be executed.

At the same time, strict management and control are carried out for the validity period of materials, and the system can provide warning functions to timely remind warehouse management and production personnel to ensure product quality.

Ensure the normal operation of equipment through equipment status, maintenance, and repair management, provide equipment assurance for drug production, and provide personnel assurance for drug production through personnel information management.

Provide a complete equipment management business component, by real-time input of equipment information, maintain follow-up on equipment status, timely maintenance and repair, and register equipment usage information in the production process in a timely manner. After use, maintain and clean the equipment in a timely manner to ensure that it is not contaminated.

Manage the information of production personnel to ensure the safety and transparency of the drug production process.

TransInfo's biopharmaceutical ERP software architecture utilizes WMS intelligent warehousing, which interfaces with PDAs, barcode guns, inventory machines, various transportation equipment, and utilizes information collection to achieve refined inventory management, thereby optimizing procurement processes, improving picking efficiency, and improving inventory accuracy.

Innovative integration of barcode labels and RFID technology, with intelligent devices throughout the entire logistics process, enables products to be data-driven and intelligently controlled.

Establish application scenarios for automated equipment such as three-dimensional shelves/containers, and achieve the solution of "shelves+robots=automated warehousing material system" through information technologies such as sub parent vehicle system, four-way shuttle vehicle technology, multi-layer shuttle vehicle technology, ground four-way light and heavy AGV technology, cargo to person picking system, WMS (warehouse management system) software, WCS (warehouse control system) system, etc.

The plan clearly covers the expenses incurred by all processes of pharmaceutical enterprises, from sales to research and development, from procurement to production, from warehousing to outbound, and effectively monitors business processes. It helps medical device enterprises obtain refined cost information, effectively saves and controls operating costs, and applies more funds to product research and development and expansion of operations.

• Cost refinement division

The plan divides costs into: material costs, labor costs, manufacturing costs, and processing costs. The cost calculation method is flexibly configured according to requirements to adapt to various complex cost accounting situations, and has clear data reports for various expenses incurred in various business processes, freeing financial personnel from complex manual tasks such as data collection and cost allocation, providing cost information to managers faster and more accurately, and improving the management decision-making level of enterprises.

• Flexible report visualization

With the flexible data reporting and business analysis suite of SAP ERP, enterprises can visualize production cost data, effectively control cost analysis and gross profit analysis, and obtain real-time input and output of each task.
