UXC Eclipse + Microsoft Dynamics NAV for Life Sciences The foundation of the UXC Eclipse Life Science Solution is Microsoft Dynamics NAV, delivering with the industry expertise of UXC Eclipse and rigorous project methodology and execution.
The Pain The biggest pain point for many companies in the life sciences industry is balancing their operational and processing requirements with tight regulatory controls and compliance. Depending on whether the company is process-oriented or discrete, lot/ batch and/or serial tracking is a core requirement and quality control is at the core of every successful operation. Valuable data is often siloed in separate systems across the organization and makes accurate reporting and visibility very difficult across multi-system and multi-site operations. The Challenge The challenge for many manufacturers in the life sciences industry is to find a cost-effective software solution that delivers both compliance and quality across the manufacturing operations. This solution must also be flexible enough to cater for the diversity that exists within each unique operation including manufacturing, R&D, distribution and even retail functions. In summary, the Life Sciences industry requires an integrated software solution that manages all aspects of finance, regulatory compliance, traceability, quality control supports multi-location operations. UXC Eclipse has the solution.

Life Sciences Solution Highlights Financial Built on Microsoft Dynamics NAV, the Life Sciences solution provides solid accounting and financial functionality to track and analyze both business information and product/process data. With end-to-end integration, businesses will have full financial control with general ledger, payables, receivables, inventory, analytical accounting, fixed assets, and cash flow, in addition to performing bank reconciliations and collections. Financial processes can also be managed across multiple currencies, locations, or companies to support international growth. Sales It is critical to have visibility right across the business from sales through production and purchasing. Without the connectivity between sales and production, order quality cannot be controlled or guaranteed which is critical aspect of customer satisfaction. In the Life Sciences solution, sales management is integrated throughout the manufacturing cycle to ensure production is aligned to sales demand. The comprehensive sales management functionality within Life Sciences includes various reservation and order picking strategies and allows for contingency management. It also regulates delivery and purchase limitations of restrictive products with the necessary compliance. Automatic batch assignment according to the FEFO principle (First Expired, First Out) or the definition of single batch deliveries is also possible. Warehouse The warehouse is the heart of the supply chain and in the Life Sciences industry it must deliver against FDA/GMP Audits and other compliance checks. The Life Sciences solution offers deep functionality across inventory control and checking, purchasing and warehouse management. The most vital aspect of the warehouse management is the powerful lot and serial administration functions that ensure traceability beyond the manufacturing process and reaches right through the supply chain. The solution delivers continuous lot tracing (even if lots are combined) and serial traceability with forward and back tracking of the lot or serial numbers form the vendors to the customers. Even internal movements can be traced within the warehouse (commissioning or storage) as well as changes in the lot data. Advanced lot administration and Item Tracing functionality assures an overview of the complete production and delivery line. It becomes easy to comprehend where a certain lot was delivered, which raw material lots were used during production and to whom they were delivered.
Manufacturing Whether following a discrete or process driven model (or a hybrid of both), Life Sciences organizations require comprehensive manufacturing functionality that gives them flexibility and accurate control of production. In the Life Sciences solution, the manufacturing functionality has been enhanced to deliver unique functionality such as: Manufacturing specification unique input template to compile material and work steps according to the production plan with full version and password control. BOMs and Recipes multi-level BOMs with routing. Recipes are stored in the system with automatic recalculation of main recipes requiring additional parts. BOMs and recipes can also be used in combination. Production Planning extends to sequence planning to optimize resource utilization with a graphical interface to allow rescheduling of orders by drag & drop. Maintenance Scheduling setup and maintenance jobs can be assigned to or separated from production orders. Planning & Scheduling drill down to detail view as well as plan table with matrix view of several manufacturing departments or by machine in detail (by day/week/month/ utilization/capacity/personnel required). Quality In Life Sciences the management of ingredients and products is critical for safety, efficiency and customer service quality is not negotiable. To support quality, the Life Sciences solution offers data security and audit trails as well as authorization functions that are essential to the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). Quality is also integrated into production and lot control within the Life Sciences solution to provide single source traceability and validation. It also allows for the administration of test properties, test schedules and test devices with integrated test accuracy control (skip-lot-method) according to DIN ISO. Project Project functionality is integrated into the Life Sciences solution. Multi-level projects can be managed with the allocation of appropriate resources; both human resource scheduling (timesheets) and materials (purchase approval workflows). Project is also supported by budget, actuals, commitment and WIP reporting. Mobility The paperless warehouse is now a reality for many Life Sciences organizations. The Life Sciences solution has RF scanning functionality with real-time activity monitoring and productivity reporting. This enables the most efficient stock movements, packing and dispatching across the warehouse. Analytics & Collaboration The Life Sciences solution offers a range of reporting tools across the ERP. With integrated functionality right across finance, sales, manufacturing and the warehouse, the scope of reporting is almost unlimited. Reporting, inquiry and analytics tools range from KPI and end user dashboards to full financial reporting.
