Regulatory audits are a nerve-wracking experience for pharmaceutical manufacturers. With stringent requirements and detailed scrutiny, audits often become a stressful and time-intensive process—especially when your records are still paper-based. Missing documents, illegible handwriting, and inconsistent data entries can lead to delays, penalties, or worse, a failed inspection.
What if there was a way to eliminate these bottlenecks entirely? With eBMR (Electronic Batch Manufacturing Records), you can simplify audits and ensure compliance with ease. Let’s explore why manual systems struggle during audits and how eBMR can transform the process.
Why Manual Records Struggle During Audits
Time-Consuming Retrieval
Finding the right document in a sea of paper files can take hours if not days. Auditors don’t have time to wait, and delays can lead to unnecessary tension.
Data Integrity Concerns
Regulatory authorities demand ALCOA+ compliance, which ensures data is Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, and Accurate. Manual entries are prone to errors, leading to compliance red flags.
Missing or Incomplete Documentation
Paper records can be lost, misplaced, or incomplete. Even a single missing document can disrupt the audit process and raise doubts about your overall operations.
Inconsistent Records Across Batches
Tracking batch-to-batch data with paper systems is cumbersome, making it hard to prove process consistency—a critical factor in pharma manufacturing.
Stress on Teams
Preparing for an audit often means working overtime, pulling out old records, and manually verifying compliance. This not only exhausts your team but also increases the risk of errors.
How eBMR Solves Audit Challenges
Instant Data Access
With eBMR, all your batch records are stored digitally and can be retrieved instantly with a few clicks. No more digging through endless files—just immediate access to what you need.
Audit-Ready Documentation
