For other Dy

Based on our life sciences experience supporting outsourced operators, including contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMO) and contract research organizations (CRO), this guide summarizes the ERP software selection requirements vendors must prove, demo, and document.

Radiopharmaceutical therapy capacity isn’t just headcount and rooms—it’s physics. Activity decays by the hour; QC and licensing gates sit on the critical path; hot cells, operators and courier cut‑offs throttle throughput. This post outlines a practical playbook: anchor schedules on patient time, make bottlenecks explicit, separate strategic/tactical/operational horizons, and use finite‑capacity slotting tied to potency windows. Not a sales pitch—just a starting point you can

One of the most important pieces of selecting and implementing an ERP system at a life sciences company is the identification of the busines

RPT manufacturers often need both ERP and MES. This post shows how to split responsibilities—put batch truth and eBR in MES, and commercial/financial truth in ERP—then wire them with event‑based, validated integrations. Learn the boundary for labels, QA release, RAM license gates, and waste; how to avoid double entry and time‑of‑calibration drift; and what to demand in scenario‑based demos. Scale dose‑to‑door without audit risk.

The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) is pushing the industry toward an interoperable, electronic way to identify and trace certain prescription drugs at the package level as they move through the supply chain.

ASC 606 isn’t a switch—it’s ERP design. This guide turns the 5‑step model into contracts, performance obligations, SSP allocation, events, and schedules you can audit. See how to handle variable consideration, acceptance, and contract changes, then build disclosures that tie to the GL. Includes high‑level pointers for D365, NetSuite, Infor, Epicor, Acumatica, and IFS, plus a checklist to test edge cases before go‑live.

Validation is proving that a system meets the intended purpose it was designed for by confirming that the system works properly. Validating an ERP system involves testing and validating its various components, including security controls, configuration settings, processes, functions, and reports.

Recall readiness is not a single feature. It is the ability to detect an issue, contain it quickly, and prove what happened with an audit ready trail.
