Global Veterinary Pharmaceutical
Dispensing Solutions
Challenges
A leading veterinary pharmaceutical company with five sites across the USA, UK, and Europe, specialising in pet and farm animal products, is transitioning from Oracle EBS, SAP, and QuickBooks to Oracle Fusion Applications to streamline and modernise operations.
- Complex Dispensing Process: Required accurate calculation and dispensing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) based on potency, involving multiple levels of manual review.
- Manual Approvals: The existing process was heavily reliant on manual entries, reviews, and approvals on physical paper, which increased the risk of human error.
- Tolerance Control: Needed to ensure that dispensed quantities were within strict tolerance levels, with minimal human interaction.
- Real-Time Information Capture: Required capturing real-time data for each component during operation execution.
- Multi-Lot Support: Needed to support consumption from multiple lots for the same component, ensuring overall quantity remained within tolerance.
- No Off-the-Shelf Solution: Lack of an out-of-the-box solution to meet GxP (Good x Practice) requirements for the dispensing process.
Solution
- Custom Mobile Solution: Developed an innovative mobile application using Oracle APEX, Oracle ATP DB, and REST API technologies to meet the unique requirements.
- Pharma Compliance: The solution was designed to comply with GxP processes, ensuring regulatory adherence.
- Automated Dispensing Process: The mobile app automated the entire dispensing operation through label scanning, eliminating manual inputs.
- Tolerance Validation: The application automatically validated dispensed quantities against pre-defined tolerance limits before committing the transaction.
- Multi-Lot and Same Lot Support: The solution supported multi-lot consumption while ensuring quantities remained within tolerance and enforced the consumption of same-lot materials simultaneously.
- Mandatory Consumption Validation: The system prevented the completion of the dispensing operation without the necessary component consumption.
- Real-Time Data Capture: The app captured real-time information, including operation start times, to enhance process visibility.
Solution Components
- Technology Stack: Oracle APEX, Oracle ATP DB, REST API
- Core Features: Automated dispensing with label scanning, real-time data capture, tolerance validation, multi-lot support
- Compliance: Full GxP compliance for the pharmaceutical manufacturing process
Results
- Increased Efficiency: The solution eliminated manual review and approval steps, significantly speeding up the dispensing process.
- Error Reduction: Automated processes minimised the risk of human error in work order execution.
- Real-Time Data Capture: Enabled immediate transaction recording, improving process monitoring and decision-making.
- Uniform Processes: Facilitated the implementation of consistent processes across all manufacturing sites.
- Enhanced Trust: Increased accuracy and compliance bolstered customer confidence in manufacturing operations.
- Improved Employee Productivity: Reduced manual tasks freed up employees to focus on higher-value activities.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensured adherence to stringent pharmaceutical industry regulations, reducing the risk of non-compliance.
