Reduction of Review and Approval Process for Manufacturing Procedures

Abstract

Long waiting times for the review and approval process in the Manufacturing Department affects the batch. The main causes of this problem are the missing signature, dates, comments, steps not executed properly, and formula calculation. A new system was introduced to eliminate manual manufacturing procedures and to eliminate manual formula execution. The system will automatically record the date, time and signature as each step is executed. Categorization of critical process parameters and critical quality parameters reduce the amount of time each designee is reviewing and approving each manufacturing order. Key Terms ⎯ Manufacturing Procedures; Electronic Manufacturing Procedures; Review and Approval Process; Batch.
