Join me on May 23, 2016
at the IQPC Traceability Forum in Philadelphia where I'll be giving a
presentation on best practices for enterprise serialization systems. (http://goo.gl/pybOnw)
As many pharmaceutical
companies are just starting to develop their education and strategy around
serialization this session is focused on providing the groundwork for how an
enterprise serialization system fits into the big picture of enabling serialization
at a pharma manufacturer or CMO.
We'll review common
approaches the industry is taking to leverage an enterprise system to
facilitate integration with packaging and distribution partners, customers and
government repositories to enable a flexible and scalable serialization
capability.
We'll also focus on
the key features/functionality which an enterprise system must provide
including:
- Serial Number Management
- Serialization Data Management
- User Reporting
- Partner Integration
Finally we'll zero-in on
some lessons learned from Jennason's nearly 10 years of experience evaluating
and implementing enterprise systems. We'll identify the pitfalls which
companies must be aware of in order to make a vendor selection that best fits
their specific serialization needs including:
- The importance of deep-rooted support for standards
(EPCIS)
- Recognizing the value of customer-controlled
flexibility
- The need for out-of-the-box reporting and analytics
