Life Sciences Solutions - SOP


SOP
Management



Being in Products Manufacturing , R&D center, commercial business with multi-national pharmaceutical companies, the life sciences organizations has to deal with a lot of critical Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and SOPs is a requirements of GMP. Life sciences industries require a scalable and agile solution to streamline SOP lifecycle management adhering to strict compliance and regulatory frameworks.

The Challenge
Life Sciences industry is subject to the regulations mandated by the government and other professional bodies including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The regulations include strict requirements for to write, manage and follow company’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). Managing and enforcing effective SOPs are challenging and often lead to the common causes of nonconformities of regulatory compliance.
Some of the Key Challenges are:

  • Manual Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) with physical storage and manual review and publishing process leads to tracking difficulties, increasing turnaround time (TAT), resulting in security breaches and compliance issues
  • Quality Assurance team face a lot of challenges tracking the right version of SOP at right time and wearisome process of manual approval using pen-paper-desk or email
  • Manual SOP and Format issuance control with hard-copy registers and distribution of SOPs to internal and external entities becoming a real-time challenge for the authorities to control the unauthorized usage.
