Pharmaceutical, Healthcare, Life Science and Biotech industry operating in this intense competitive and complex regulatory environment needs to define their quality objectives articulately and ensure that these quality benchmarks have disseminated within the organization effectively. The organization also needs to define processes to attain those quality objectives called “Standard Operating Procedures” (SOP). Hence you need a SOP management software.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) in general is a set of written instructions that document a routine or repetitive activity which is followed by employees in an organization. The development and use of SOPs are an integral part of a successful quality system.
A typical Pharmaceutical Industry has an average of 1200- 1300 SOPs. One of the main objective of effective SOP management is to lighten the dark ambiguous world of roles and responsibility. SOP defines these following points:
• What is the objective of SOP (Purpose?)
• What are applicability and use of SOP (Scope)?
• Who will perform tasks (Responsibility?)
• Who will ensure implementation of procedure (Accountability?)
• How tasks will be performed (Procedure)
Companies generally manage these SOP’s manually and forced to face below obstacles & challenges like:
• Take long time to prepare SOP’s for various processes and departments
• Time / money/ effort consuming
• Unable to meet deadlines for review
• Delays in approvals
• Delay in training to staff about amendments
• Ineffective and insecure way of keeping and controlling SOP’s
