MasterControl headquartered in Salt Lake City offers their Manufacturing Excellence Solution, a paperless manufacturing documentation management solution including Electronic Batch Records (EBR), Electronic Device History Records (eDHR), equipment calibration and maintenance document tracking, and product documentation such as recipe and variant management.
MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence is excellent for creating batch records to track a specific regulated process. It helps us keep our data in line and make sure we are following our procedures. there are some difficulties with more customizable products. The more variable that are in the product the fewer features that MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence can apply to assist
The quality service and the strong production versatility has helped us develop a great solution for our batch records. These improvements are much better than the legacy batch records and provide immediate access at multiple points across the organization. Would definitely purchase again.
I receive positive feedback from manufacturing personnel about how easy it is to use when manufacturing and I also receive positive feedback from quality personnel for review batch records. We have had some deviations where operators are inputting data under other operators accounts which is really bad good documentation practices and is a compliance risk
During a few early templates, a configuration for product family had not been removed and it created an error. The subject matter expert and support desk was able to help me understand the error was builder generated and how to resolve it very quickly. This is now a non-existent occurrence.
I think that both are great tools and when used together they can definitely decrease wasted time in document creation and storage and also help to minimize problems that occur from having information easily at hand. Quality Excellence is a lot better for the quality aspect of production and being able to track quality issues where MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence is a lot nicer for the production side of things
