Success Story MES Validation

GxP-Proof MES Harmonization

Creating a new MES landscape for a research-based pharmaceutical and biotech company.

#1 CHALLENGE

Harmonized Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and reporting standards are essential for effective communication between stakeholders, such as suppliers and manufacturers, and help reduce the risk of errors when integrating production sites into corporate systems.

Our client, the manufacturing site of a global pharmaceutical company, planned to harmonize its production reporting as part of the realignment of its MES landscape. A key element was the introduction of a centralized reporting and data visualization tool that provides a unified overview of all sites.

#2 APPROACH

msg industry advisors supported the reorganization of the client's MES landscape on multiple levels: This included both ensuring data integrity and the proper planning and execution of (computer) system validation.

To this end, the project team, together with the client, developed the central validation plan and system documentation. In parallel, experts from msg industry advisors contributed to the content of the data integrity concept, ensuring that requirements for long-term data retention, as well as the implications of data compression and complex system interfaces, were appropriately addressed.
