Our company is one of the top 5 generics drug manufacturers in the world and has 40+ manufacturing facilities spanning across 10+ countries and serving 100+ markets.

I am a Manager in the Process Improvement & IT Division and am responsible for technology solutions implementation & digitization of processes

For what projects/services did your company hire Affle Enterprise?

Since our company is a Pharmaceutical company, performance monitoring of manufacturing processes and personnel at our manufacturing facilities on a daily basis to capture plan vs. actual on a granular level and growing up the hierarchy was crucial to us.

We needed mobile application expertise to help us design & build the application as processes in plants had many complexities which were dynamic too.

Also, since we have a huge employee strength, we needed a mobile travel-desk application through which our employees can book tickets and manage travel itineraries. This application was managed by another colleague of mine.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to track the plan vs. actual on a daily basis so that we could identify the bottleneck processes and also have a transparent mechanism to measure the performance of plant operators to reward the top performers.

We wanted the application to be very light and easy to use as it needs to be used on a daily basis in remote-locations in a plant and also host it on cloud.

How did you select this vendor?

The vendor was already chosen when I took the project. They were gathering requirements by making plant visits to understand the As-Is processes.

I took over the project in Apr ’17 when we were designing the scope, architecture and the flow of application.

Describe the project in detail.

Before we finalized the scope and architecture of the application, we made multiple visits to multiple manufacturing sites to understand the nuances in each facility and the application being robust enough to fit all needs.

As the processes were different, we built an application that was most complex.

We initially piloted in one of our plants in a site for 2 months to gain user-feedback, address any technical challenges, and motivate the users to use it on a daily basis.

On successful usage for 2-3 months, we rolled it out to other plants in the site and are about to deploy it to other sites, post few modifications. We have built reports and dashboards to measure and track the metrics, which have been very fruitful.

What was the team composition?

The team from the vendor had a Project Manager who was looking into the project full-time and Project Lead who was managing it over-all.

The core-team composed of developers and quality testing resource who were working off-site and a lead developer who travelled with us for plant visits.

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

2-3 months into the roll-out of the application across a site, we were able to identify the key drivers and performers of the month through a validated process which helped improve morale among the plant users.

The reports helped plants identify deviations from the plan and drill down to the root cause. Currently, all users at the plant are aware of their daily tasks, which goes up the hierarchy and constitutes of the monthly plant level plan vs. actual.

This has given more visibility to the plant heads of the actuals.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We had weekly status calls with the Project Manager and frequented plant visits and face-to-face meetings to ensure every detail was captured.

The team was supportive and patient enough to configure the application to the dynamic complexities that arose during the implementation phase.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The way they patiently handled the changes in the application design was impressive. They are technically sound and have good understanding of the system and our proposed design.

So, when they configured, they accounted for all the scenarios which saved lot of re-work.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We would have been happier if we had enough time to enhance more dashboards, but given the time constraints, we are much happier with their quality of work than rushing up to finish complex dashboards.
