Evaluating Enterprise Systems for Production, Procurement, Documentation, and Compliance in Pharmaceutical Companies

Abstract

In the highly regulated and competitive landscape of pharmaceutical manufacturing, the efficient integration of enterprise systems is crucial for optimizing production, procurement, documentation, and compliance. This paper evaluates various enterprise systems used in pharmaceutical companies, examining their impact on production efficiency, procurement processes, documentation management, and regulatory compliance. It explores how these systems contribute to cost reduction, error minimization, and overall process improvement. The study highlights key features of enterprise systems such as Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Quality Management Systems (QMS). By analyzing case studies and industry data, this paper identifies best practices and challenges associated with the implementation of these systems. The findings suggest that a well-integrated enterprise system not only enhances operational efficiency but also ensures adherence to stringent regulatory standards, which is paramount in the pharmaceutical industry. The paper concludes with recommendations for pharmaceutical companies on selecting and implementing enterprise systems to achieve optimal performance and compliance.
