CHALLENGE
Agile in Pharma
A pharmaceutical company was experiencing inefficiencies in its packaging lines and initially considered implementing a complex AI solution to resolve the issue.
With the objective to streamline operations, reduce downtime, and ensure compliance in a highly regulated environment, they set up in an Agile team to address the inefficiencies.
SOLUTION
To support the development of a solution, 7N helped the client form an Agile project team.
Their approach resulted in:
In line with Agile practices, the team members engaged directly with the packaging line operators to understand user pain points
As a result, they discovered that the real problem stemmed from operators navigating multiple disconnected systems.
The team designed and implemented a manufacturing intelligence platform using continuous feedback to ensure its functionality
The final solution provided dashboard-based insights showing order statuses and key information on production line systems for different user roles
IMPACT
The project demonstrated how Agile can drive efficiencies across the entire project life cycle:
Replaced an overly complex and costly concept with a focused, user-driven solution
The solution saved 15 production days for each line where the solution was implemented
Improved daily operations by streamlining system interactions and making data accessible
Enabled the client to adopt Agile practices within a GxP-compliant framework
