Streamlining Quality Assurance in Batch Manufacturing with Dynamics 365 Business Central and YAVEON ProBatch
Batch Manufacturing exists in a sector where quality assurance is non-negotiable, and the margin for error is very slim.
Industries like biotech, chemical, cosmetics, food, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals need to have an unwavering commitment to quality at every step.
Dynamics 365 Business Central and YAVEON ProBatch for Batch Manufacturing
Achieving this high standard is made possible through the strategic use of software solutions like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, enhanced by YAVEON Pro Batch. This powerful combination delivers a comprehensive financial and manufacturing solution, ensuring quality control is never compromised.
Business operations hinge on flawless inventory management and inspection procedures. Precision, accuracy, and meticulous attention to detail are vital in this process. For example, the feature to record visual value revolutionizes the inspection process. It enables operators to document the visual inspection of a product, such as a container, marking the completion of that inspection phase. This proves invaluable in situations where visual inspection plays a pivotal role in product validation.
The Importance of Quality Assurance and Inspection Plans in Batch Manufacturing
Quality assurance is critically reliant on the establishment and implementation of inspection plans, a process designed to track and assess inbound materials, ongoing work, and completed products. This process empowers manufacturers to document lot-specific variables, such as potency, concentration, or virulence. Integrating a quality module like YAVEON ProBatch into Dynamics 365 Business Central automates the process of placing lots on hold following a failed inspection. This guarantees only high-quality products advance to the subsequent stage.
The software also facilitates the creation of certificates of analysis and the establishment and implementation of long-term stability testing. These functions offer additional quality control measures, ensuring products adhere to the highest standards before market distribution. The system also supports the use of electronic signatures, introducing an element of accountability and traceability to the process.
Software Capabilities for Customized Inspection Plans and Sampling Techniques
The software's versatility enables the creation of customized inspection plans tailored to distinct items, equipment, or client/vendor specifications, ensuring each unique situation is duly addressed. It also accommodates various sampling techniques such as fixed quantity, per package calculation, and square root calculation for statistical sampling. This guarantees a comprehensive and precise inspection process.
Efficient Inventory Management: Inspection, Tracking, and Analysis
Upon completion of the inspection, the receipt is recorded, thereby updating the continuous inventory system. This action also triggers a warehouse put-away, which is currently not addressed. The inventory summary page then provides a comprehensive view of all inventory items, with visual cues to indicate each item's status. For example, an item under quality control or not yet released is marked in yellow. This system facilitates efficient inventory tracking and management, ensuring all items are accurately accounted for and their statuses are transparent.
The inspection process extends beyond this. An inspection order for the specific item, once released, is made available for the lab technician to conduct necessary tests. Upon completion of these tests, the inspection order can be closed, and the lot's status can be modified as needed. This can range from being blocked, requiring rework, being returned, or any other status. This method guarantees a thorough inspection and precise updating of the lot's status.
A standout feature of this process is the capability to generate a certificate of analysis. This document solidifies the inspection outcomes and can be printed for record-keeping purposes. Depending on the location of the inspection, this certificate could be issued for a customer, vendor, or shipment. It details the upper and lower tolerances and the target values, offering a complete summary of the inspection findings.
