Use Cases and Deployment Scope

MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence helped us to save a lot of time on the shop floor by making data entries simple and fast. We are no longer have overwriting errors which was creating extra work to add comment on the paper and review again. Operators no longer have date and time entry errors. It saved many hours for QA: issuing Batch Record takes few seconds now. All Batch records are now in one place and with easy access.

Pros

  • Friendly interface for end user
  • Easy template building
  • They really listen customers feedbacks
  • It’s constantly growing and introducing great features
  • Fast response on any question
  • Smooth launching and going live with new Batch Records

  • We are looking forward of more functionality of instruction steps
  • More complex steps function

Likelihood to Recommend

It’s amazing tool for Operators on the floor, very fast and easy for Data Capture in Batch Records. We are able to close and release them faster than paper based.
There is less corrections to be addressed since Operator signatures are automatically added together with date and time stamp.
It’s also a great help for QA since issuing Batch Record takes few seconds.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Replaced Paper based batch records with electronic batch records in the manufacturing environment. Removal and eradication of documentation errors, improvement in quality review and product release times. Process improvements and full online traceability of the production progress. The scope was paper vs glass and the initial phase of implementation into the business.

Pros

  • Ease of use for end user
  • Highly configurable
  • Levels of support

Cons

  • Enhancements in the configurable options
  • Ability to improve the moving of master templates between environments

Likelihood to Recommend

MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence is well suited within most, if not all, manufacturing environments. The highly configurable Master Templates provide a well varied and essential options where I would expect most records can be converted electronically. The API connectors are easy to integrate with other systems seamlessly and this allows great scope for future phases and integrations.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Initially MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence was docs and training. We launched those first and it has been seamless. Training records ands department as well as metrics and notification is handled automatically. Hard to look back at the legacy system after that. What’s more, our current customer base has been pleased with the instant availability of records and documents.

Pros

  • Revision history
  • Collaboration
  • Record storage and retention

Cons

  • It feels like the modules are built by different teams and this minor functional differences trip up new users
  • Enhanced forms are painful
  • Without insights jreports can be difficult to get exactly what you want from them

Likelihood to Recommend

Send to fit most of not all of what we do well. Only issue right now we have is managing analytics without insights or api driven integration into another tool. There could be some improvement into ease of use with regards to where certain data entry points end up being seen.

Excellence in all things!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

MasterControl Quality Excellence records and logbooks functionality is currently in use at my company. Production Records is used for day to day manufacturing. It has been key in providing an efficient and effective mechanism to meet compliance requirements and error proofing. The functionality is extremely flexible and easy to validate. The logbooks module has been key in us being able to manage information and it integrates very well with Production Records.

Pros

  • Validation on demand
  • Flexible field functionality for data gathering
  • Review by exception

Cons

  • Needs ability to have global settings within a single master template
  • Needs ability to add multiple attachments to a single attachment field
  • Calculations in product families could be easier to manage

Likelihood to Recommend

MasterControl Quality Excellence is well suited for handling gxp data, manufacturing specs and specific parameters. It’s currently less appropriate for managing equipment maintenance and calibrations
