The pharmaceutical supply chain is long and complex. There are many challenging requirements placed on pharmaceutical organisations in terms of demand management, supply chain planning, process-based manufacturing, discrete manufacturing, product traceability and quality management. These requirements, together with the need for regulatory compliance place huge demands on the computer systems which support pharmaceutical organisations.
BSM has published a new report entitled 'ERP in the Pharmaceutical Industry - Complex functional requirements create significant challenges for ERP systems'. 'When choosing an ERP system in the pharmaceutical industry it is vital to take account of the whole systems landscape and shortlist vendors who have a proven track record of working in this sector. It is also vital to choose a system which is capable of operating in both a process-based and a discrete manufacturing environment, if a single system is being deployed across all stages of the manufacturing process'.
BSM is an independent ERP consulting organisation and is not aligned with any ERP or other vendor of business software.
