RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

R&D Admin. Success in the Life Sciences often requires an enormous up-front investment. Much of that expense is tied up in complying with the elaborate requirements imposed by the FDA on the research and development process, including multiple levels of clinical trials. Life Sciences companies can shorten time to market for new product innovations by integrating business processes and managing projects effectively. By integrating design innovation into the manufacturing process and collaborating effectively with suppliers, partners, and customers, your company can help enhance customer satisfaction and stand out from your competitors.

Project Planning. MAXLife enables Life Sciences companies to manage project planning, scope, issues and risks; specifically project plan, status reporting, deliverable oversight, client interactions, budget, and adherence to process. With MAXLife, you can create estimates and quotes faster and more accurately to win more customized orders. By analyzing project costs and evaluating total order processing time to complete the order, you can better predict machine utilization and human resource requirements for improved scheduling and more precise delivery times.

Production Data Management. Success in the Life Sciences marketplace also requires an array of specialized products, tailored precisely to customer needs and capable of rapidly evolving as those needs change. But maintaining a specialized product line can create huge overhead costs. To contain costs, manufacturers must tightly manage their engineering, design, and production processes. That means keeping tabs on key product data such as component parts and bills of materials, manufacturing procedures, and published product information. Without the right tools, the volume and complexity of that data can be overwhelming. MAXLife enables manufacturers to transform product data into a valuable enterprise resource.

Claims and Tests. MAXLife enables Life Sciences companies to capture and route electronic claims information through an automated approval process. You can ensure that each claim can be archived, retained, and viewed—quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively. R&D departments can reduce data entry and access times, integrate many sources, and view all supporting documentation and multimedia assets. MAXLife enables firms to reduce manual claims entry, seamlessly integrate data, address and enforce records retention and compliance policies, and increase accuracy of any claims processed.

Samples Management. To help make informed decisions about the suitability of compounds throughout the development cycle, organizations must have access to the accurate data. MAXLife tracks a new product from customer request through acceptance. It enables Life Sciences companies to create R&D formulas separate to live manufacturing formulas. Companies can base sample formulas on an existing formula - or create it new. MAXLife also enables you to track material, packaging and R&D costs per sample. This allows you to perform profitability calculations on formulas, and expense analysis based on expenses vs. orders and number of requests vs. planned orders.
