MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence (Mx) Embedded with Quality Throughout

Comentarios: Overall, we have had a great experience with MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence. The product is easy to use, easy to validate, and allows us to make our manufacturing process digital. The support from MasterControl has also been top tier.

Puntos a favor:

MasterControl's Mx solution is embedded with quality throughout the entire platform and process. Mx does not just document completion of executed steps during the manufacturing process. It allows you to easily configure defined parameters and what happens when entered values exceed these limits. The Review by Exception tool allows quality assurance reviewers to focus on specific key areas of the batch record rather than completing a line-by-line review due to these configurable controls. In addition, the product is integrated with the quality solutions of MasterControl, including documents, training, and quality events. For example, the system performs training checks to prevent users from working on a batch record if their training is not complete (there is an option for a supervisor override), and deviations can be launched and linked from the batch record with the quality event status clearly visible to batch reviewers. Lastly, we like how easy the software is to use; we are able to configure it ourselves without needing ongoing consultants.

Contras:

There are some minor software limitations, for example you cannot correct or change a lot number after a batch record is created. There are also some features, such as global elements, that cannot be used in conjunction with other features, such as product families. Once you learn these limitations, you are able to develop workarounds for them.

Manufacturing Excellence in a Pharmaceutical Environment

Comentarios: The Mx module of MasterControl has helped mitigate many of the documentation errors that we would often see attributed to end users handwriting,

Puntos a favor:

The ability to enforce training dependancies in Production Records to ensure end users are properly trained before executing Phase Steps is critical for day to day operation here at BioSpectra. The different utilities within each different Phase Step Type gives the Template Builder a wide range of formatting options, which is essential for building a Template that is clear and concise, functional, and easy to execute once a record is issued from it.

Contras:

We have experienced quite a few issues while attempting to import or export any Master Templates between the different environments (Dev, Test, & Live Sites). Being in the Pharmaceutical environment, we have come across a few instances where we have identified defects in the system that have been critical for us but low priority on MasterControl's side as they are not a regulated company.

Excellent product and customer service

Puntos a favor:

MasterControl MES has provided my company with a great resource to make our entire process more lean. The savings we have had as a company just from moving away from paper records is worthwhile enough, but the modular nature and no-code simplicity of the interface has allowed us simplify all of our records in a way that was easy to implement. Also, the interface with our quality system was seamless and API integrations are something we are looking forward to putting in place. MasterControl is also constantly improving their software to provide more and more functionality to its end users and the customer service experience has been excellent

Contras:

Integrating with regulatory, validation of templates, and some small lags are the main issues or services that we have not taken advantage of yet.

MasterControl - Digitize Your World

Puntos a favor:

Issuing batch records is extremely simple. Lot number control ensures numbers aren't skipped and the ability to filter records between various products is extremely useful. Mx Builder is user friendly and intuitive to use. Regex expressions allow you to define user inputs, decreasing entry errors.

Contras:

Reporting and data analysis is a bit challenging. Insights is an improvement from Jreports, however, there is still quite a learning curve before the module becomes useful. More training and improvements to the speed/functionality of Insights would greatly improve the product.

Review of MasterControl in MFG from builder/user perspective

Comentarios: Overall MasterControl has been a huge success for our company. Standards of quality, tracibility and less deviations are all apparent with the implementation on MasterControl within our site.

Puntos a favor:

I like the flexibility to build an electronic batch around our process. In the past I've seen process changes occur in order to facilitate lack of software configurability which is a concern. The flexibility of MasterControl eliminates that concern.

Contras:

Fully integrating MasterControl with an established ERP such as SAP is a little more difficult than it first seemed. We have quite intricate batch records with a large amount of differing components. MasterControl has been open and helpful during this process, but there have been many bumps in the road.

#MES G.O.A.T

Puntos a favor:

I find the Master Template Builder tool to be relatively easy to use. The interface is user-friendly and functionalities make sense.

Contras:

For Master Template building, our team has found that some restrictions are difficult to find work-arounds for. For example, if an Operation level is configured to be 'Repeatable', if any calculated values are within that repeated Operation, those same values cannot be pulled to other parts of the record. This is limiting when data propagates throughout an entire record. I have trained the Builders to instruct 'transcribing values' from repeatable Operations to be able to be used later downstream.

MasterControl Review

Electronic Batch Record Review

Puntos a favor:

We use this product to maintain our production in our subsidiary, and not many other companies offer this feature.

The cost of licensure limits how many people can make and use the eBR.

Master Control review

Puntos a favor:

a lot of features continuous improvement Production record section - easy to build a new record.

Contras:

Comentarios: Great I like the functionality

Puntos a favor:

Qms system integration with all modules.

Contras:

Limits to eform with validation control.

Overall Positive

Comentarios: Positive. This was a big project, but it has been worth it.

Puntos a favor:

Batch records, some features more customizable than others. The basic stuff is good once you get the hang of it. I love this and the company has been quick to adapt, demonstrates the ease of use.

Contras:

Customized reports are difficult. There is opportunity for some awesome reports, but very difficult. Integration with our ERP has been more difficult. Understanding of what the roles mean and how they are used lead to confusion and now have to pay more later b/c we did not fully understand what we needed.

Expensive but worth it

Comentarios: .

Puntos a favor:

This product is ensuring equipment stays calibrated per schedule. This ensures compliance.

Contras:

Ok, it’s expensive. But after the expense, it still delivers the ROI. So it’s worth it.

Game Changer for Electronic Batch Records

Puntos a favor:

It is amazing to be able to have batch records transitioned from paper to electronic.The error rate has declined significantly so the time it takes from production to release of the product has increased which is a plus for the business!

The learning curve for myself was a bit longer than I expected but once I figured out what I was doing it is fantastic.

Puntos a favor:

The UI is very user friendly and intuitive

Lack of a dark mode feature, themes were recently removed and a dark mode would be nice and easier on the eyes for those accustomed to it
