Pharmaceutical & Medical Manufacturing

Real world studies show significant opportunity to improve performance for pharmaceutical and medical manufacturers

Do you want to know how your manufacturing efficiency compares to your peers? Find out how you can set goals to unlock capacity and reduce inventory and labor costs, while increasing productivity without additional capital investment.

Pharmaceutical & medical manufacturers gain competitive advantages when they focus on operational excellence initiatives like Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, Total Productive Maintenance and other continuous improvement methods.  Leading manufacturers meet these goals by identifying and measuring key performance indicators (KPIs) within and across facilities on an ongoing basis.

Solarsoft studied 50 pharmaceutical manufacturing lines worldwide using the Solarsoft Informance Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence Suite, and IMPACT Advisory Services to collect data, derive insight and discover correlations to operational success of tactical and strategic actions.
