Workforce Efficiency Savings

Manufacturer

For pharmaceutical manufacturers, high operating costs are driven by human error, inefficient and time-consuming training methods, and compliance risks. As a result, they are focused on three specific priorities to reach key business goals:

Standardizing

Operations

Eliminating

Errors

Accelerating

Training

Improvement Opportunities

Substantial inefficiencies are reduced by focusing on three specific challenges:

Imbalance of experts to processes

Line clearance

Paper-based SOPs

The high number of SOPs being created causes a huge maintenance burden. Employees use complex paper-based instructions, which lead to errors

The growing number of complex processes requires more effective knowledge transfer from departing experts to the frontline.
