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

Opcenter best suits for the deseret manufacturing. It allows to customize and configure easily based on the customer need. Opcneter keeps the metada different than the operation data, so that it can be easily put on any database and switching between database is also very easy because of this feature. User friendly Opcneter Portal studio allows easy customization in case if any UI customization is needed. Modeling helps to configure one time master data setup. Designer helps to extend the meta data in case if needed.

• We have been able to reduce the amount of production records variability had based on product families.
• New user uptake is very high and they can learn the solution quickly.
• The ability to add formula parameters and production record linking has helped traceability.

• Improved the Manufacturing IT efficiency
• Product Genealogy
• Return Material Traceability
