Industry Solutions Life Sciences Engineering, Project Collaboration, Document Control and Facilities Management Solutions across the Life Sciences Value Chain Industry Solutions
Life sciences companies who have a grasp on their value chain and are able to coordinate activities across the value chain will be able to unlock a competitive and strategic advantage. Deloitte Consulting Integrated Document Management along the Life Sciences Industry Value Chain, 2011 Bringing Safe and Cost Effective Products to Market Life Sciences companies face a wide variety of challenges. These include growing regulatory requirements in both manufacturing operations and clinical trial processes and the importance of documenting Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). There is also the need for increased collaboration at different stages of the drug development lifecycle and pressures to shorten time to market. Few industries also face such rigorous monitoring of documentation. In the US, for example, the Food and Drug Administration s (FDA) 21 CFR Part 11 regulations require Life Sciences companies to implement specific audit trails, electronic signatures, strict access control and storage for all documentation. The adherence to GMP has also become a mandatory aspect of pharmaceutical manufacturing in many parts of the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) has a version of GMP used by pharmaceutical regulators in over 100 countries and the US FDA and European Union have similar GMP requirements. Against this backdrop, there is a need for Life Sciences companies to coordinate activities across the value chain and bring safe drugs and medical devices to market as quickly and as cost effectively as possible. Companies must be able to manage multiple stakeholders, multiple documents and increasingly complex projects while delivering accurate documentation that demonstrates correct manufacturing practices and product integrity. Get it right, and companies can look forward to sustained success. Get it wrong, and the regulator and significant commercial penalties await. industry & document control experience McLaren Software Coordinating the Life Sciences Value Chain Whether relating to Research and Development, patents, clinical trials, major capital projects, manufacturing or distribution, McLaren Software is ideally suited to meeting the needs of the Life Sciences sectors.

An End-to-End Solution 50,000 Documents Managed and Over US$1 Million Saved A leading Cancer Research Center used McLaren software to manage its documents, drawings and associated change control for over 100 buildings at its R&D campus. All buildings and 50,000 documents and drawings needed to be reviewed and validated according to FDA requirements. McLaren solutions managed all documentation, including base plans (reference files), loop diagrams and drawings. Over $1 million was saved annually on re-survey costs and compliance was achieved with FDA regulations. Helping a Biomedicines Company Coordinate Its Manufacturing Process A leading manufacturing biomedicines company used McLaren to manage its engineering documents, drawings and change control processes within its manufacturing facilities. Business processes were harmonized across sites and watermarks incorporated to minimize the risk of outdated documents. The result has been a significant reduction in open work orders and the risk of non-compliance, an improved ability to respond to audit requests, automatic audit trail generation and reduced data entry errors. McLaren - Delivering Healthcare Projects on Time and On Budget Life Sciences is one of the fastest growing sectors. Biotherapeutic, biopharmaceutical, biomedicines, healthcare and pharmaceutical companies look to McLaren Software solutions to help manage plants, facilities, manufacturing supply chains and engineering projects. Central to this is the concept of lifecycle asset management. McLaren s engineering, project collaboration, document control and facilities management solutions will coordinate all stages of the Life Sciences value chain. At the design, procurement and construction phase of a healthcare facility, for example, McLaren solutions accelerate project execution, reduce re-work and help deliver projects on time and on budget. Bringing new and innovative drugs to market requires agile engineering departments that can build, re-configure and refurbish plants prior to launching production of a new medical device or product. Again, McLaren s document control solutions can provide up to date and real-time documentation in advance of live operations. At the handover, commission and start-up phases, McLaren solutions ensure the seamless exchanging, reviewing and updating of engineering and project information, the adherence to GMP practices, the establishment of effective Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and the reducing of time to market. At the production and manufacturing stages, McLaren solutions minimize operating costs, reduce risk and lost production, and ensure all regulatory and safety requirements are met in the pursuit of bringing safe drugs and medical devices to market.
