Pharmaceuticals & Health

Find here our articles on maintenance in the pharmaceutical industry and in the health sector, and the importance of having an efficient CMMS to meet standards while remaining competitive.

The pharmaceutical industry is a particular industrial activity, subject to numerous standards due to the health challenges that accompany it. These standards concern both the production of drugs itself and the traceability of all associated activities.

In terms of maintenance management, these constraints require companies in the pharmaceutical sector to comply with strict rules affecting all aspects of the activity, the Good Manufacturing Practices for Medicines, or GMP. These concern both the quality of the maintenance itself and the monitoring and control of all the processes surrounding it.

GMP requires in particular to keep a written record of any intervention on production tools and to maintain buildings and equipment in a regular and efficient manner. In addition, the 21 CFR Part 11 standard from the FDA, the American administration responsible for authorizing the marketing of drugs in the United States, imposes strict rules on electronic signatures, document traceability and audit trails.

Therefore, companies in the pharmaceutical sector must equip themselves with the tools that are most adapted to these constraints. In terms of maintenance management, only a new generation CMMS such as Mobility Work allows them to meet this requirement while facilitating the work of maintenance technicians and improving their productivity.

Our CMMS solution was designed to allow easy management of user access rights and electronic signatures, but also to be able to quickly and easily provide complete audit trails in the event of an external audit in order to comply with a standard.

In addition, Mobility Work CMMS has numerous functionalities allowing the implementation of maintenance plans, whether curative, corrective, conditional, preventive or even predictive. This last strategy is the most effective, thanks to the use of IoT, the Internet of Things. Adapted to this technology, our application will thus allow you to anticipate breakdowns and limit machine downtime, which promotes company productivity.

More generally, adopting a mobile CMMS facilitates the management of team schedules, the entry of intervention reports and the consultation of technical documentation from any location, and the monitoring of maintenance plans. Usable without any specific training, our application is very popular with maintenance technicians in the pharmaceutical and health sectors for its ease of use, which encourages them to scrupulously respect standards in terms of maintenance and traceability of interventions.
