Investigations of production and industrial operations problems are a very integral part of any pharmaceutical or life science industry. Investigation of any kind of problem or issue, deviation, or failures in a process in an organization can be considered as a substructure that can bring increased efficacy to the system. Multiple tools are used in the pharmaceutical industries to solve complex problems related to areas of production, quality, or any system in general. 6M is one such tool, used extensively in Pharmaceutical or Production industries, that identifies root cause or probable root cause of any issue by exploring problems in multiple directions. It dissects the problems into 6 simple sections, i.e., Material, Method, Machine, Mother Nature, Measurement, and Man. Digitalization of 6M investigation is what organisations need to make this simple.
Although the simplicity and robustness of this tool is its USP, the manual preparation, maintenance, and storage the 6M investigation documents generally bring obscurity during the process of investigation. The confusion may increase in manual paper-based work environment scenarios as interlinked documents of the 6M investigation (for instance, CAPA) may be difficult to search as well as store, and make available at the time of need.
Paper based work is error prone which can be a huge drawback in industries that hugely rely on accuracy. Organizations that are still in the paper-based work environment may deal with several complexities during investigation that can be solved with digitalization of 6M investigation:
