OPM implementation in Pharma Industry

Hello All
I am looking for information (case studies/white papers/others) on OPM Implementation in Pharma industry primarily to learn :
- How active drug mfg & formulations mfg was mapped to OPM
- Business requirements that could be fulfilled by standard package
- Business requirements not fulfilled by std package and the workarounds for the same.
Any info this regards would be great to have.
Thank you !

We have implemented OPM in a pharma company. I will try to give you some of the inputs.
- How active drug mfg & formulations mfg was mapped to OPM
These were mapped as items and we used recipe versions extensively. For Samples we used the same itemcode prefixed with S.
- Business requirements that could be fulfilled by standard package
OPM was able to fulfill almost all the requirements of the pharma business.
- Business requirements not fulfilled by std package and the workarounds for the same.
We had problem in costing. The cost is maintained at item level in OPM. However the company wanted the cost at a lot level. For example, the same item could be manufactured inhouse or purchased outside. They wanted to track costs separately. This was not possible in OPM. Hence we mapped the company on Standard cost for accounting purposes. This was more of a compromise.
I have recently implemented lot costing which specifically addresses the above problem.
I feel that Oracle OPM with lot costing will address most of the manufacturing / costing requirements of a pharma industry.
If you want more info. kindly update these columns or you can contact me at [email protected]

CTM or optimizer in Pharma Industry

Dear Gurus,
Is CTM or Optimizer usually used in Pharma industry? I understand the reasons behind the selection of SNP solution that if you just need a simple supply planning with capacity levelling, you go for Heuristics, if you need rule based go for CTM and if you need cost optimization, you go for Optimizer.
In your experience, does Pharma industries go for CTM or optimizer? While I understand it's specific to the business model , does the Pharma industry process support the CTM or Optimizer?
Thanks.

Visu,
I shall put forth a different argument based on my experience with one of the pharma company mentioned by Ken and another that is not listed in the discussion so far.
According to my experience Pharma industry is more of Supply-driven rather than Demand-driven.
As a result PPDS pretty much is the most important planning engine where long-term sequence of orders are carried out. Campaign-based planing is pretty much a mandatory requirement in case of API / Active Ingredient manufacturing. To start with SNP is not capable of doing Campaign-based planning. So it does not matter if its CTM or Optimiser. Frankly speaking I find Heuristic much easier to understand and handle.
One Golbal Pharma major uses SNP for long-term planning (that too heuristic) basically to pass the demand from the markets all the way to the API manufacturing plants. Then PPDS is run for a shorter horizon depending on the product level. For APIs the PPDS plan is almost 1 year out - because when you are doing campaign planning each campaign (for a particular API) typically lasts 2-3 months. That means if on a manufacturing line (a complex series of pressure vessels and piping) you need to manufacturing 4 different APIs you will make the same API after 1 year (3 months per campaig x 4 APIs). For Semi-finished products (like forming the tablets) the production process is faster and hence PPDS planning is not done for 1 year out but maybe upto 6 months. As for the final finish and packing lines each Production Run lasts for few days and hence te PPDS plan is say upto 3 months only. Now given these different production levels you need to maintain master data parameters suitably to match PPDS and SNP planning runs.
This client did not use SNP Optimiser or CTM engine in their planning when I was working. Even now I they are not using these engines.
On the other hand another Indian Pharma major started off APO implementation using SNP especially CTM engine and over a period of time as they rolled out more and more of Production Planning at the plants they realised CTM is not serving the purpose. As far as I know they were in process of switching over to PPDS for the production planning and keep CTM only close to the demand side i.e. the Distribution Centers.
Hope this helps.

"Cleaning Validation Process Scenario" in SAP QM/PM for Pharma Industry

Dear Gurus,
I have a client requirement in the Pharma Industry. The scenario needs to be mapped in SAP for which I need your help.
The scenario is that the company is making medicines (tablets/capsules). Whenever, there is a changeover of the product, there are certain regulatory requirements which the client needs to adhere to.
For example, a shutdown of machinery for 10-12 days may be planned during which the machines are cleaned with soap/cleaning agents. Now, during this cleaning process, the QA department would take samples of the soap water recovered after cleaning process. These samples would be inspected for residues of the previous product that was being run on the line.
If everything is ok, then the approval is given by QA to start the next product.
This process has to be mapped in SAP, maybe in QM or PM.
I thought over the following process. Please let me know your inputs to fine tune the below process -
1. As the shutdown for changeover will be a planned one, we can create a Maintenance Plan in IP42.
2. Schedule the Mantenance Plan by IP10.
3. Release the maintenance plan in IP10.
4. Preventive Maintenance order will be created. (Also assign an Inspection Type in config to this maintenance order so that inspection lot also is triggered. The doubt here is that the inspection lot would be triggered for all preventive maintenance orders which may not be required. How to control this?)
5. Carry out Result Recording in QA32.
6. Confirm Preventive Maintenance order in IW41.
7. Carry out Usage Decision in QA32. The status of order will now become TECO.
8. Order Settlement in KO88.
9. Business Completion of Order in IW32
Thanks for you time!
Regards,
Nitin

Your ASIS Process
1. Cleaning is done by maintenance before change over
2. Inspection is done to ensure that cleaning is acceptable
3. Records of inspection are to be maintained
4. Information is to be sent to concern regarding quality testing and its status
5. Change over performed
You can MAP this by Notifications also. Follow the steps
1. Create a new notification type ( config)
2. Ensure you have following mapped in the action box (config)
    a. Send a mail
    b. Create a inspection lot
    c. Create a QM order
    d. Close Notification
The process will be as follows
1. Create a dummy material and activate insp type 08 in the QM set up.
2. PM creates the notification (t-code QM01) (New notification & triggers a mail (Action box) which is delivered to QC as information regarding the start of process .
3. QC on looking at the information creates the inspection lot through the notification (action box) the QTY specified in the notification is moved from unrestricted to Quality .
3. Perform RR & UD and post stock to unrestricted
4. Close the notification giving your remarks or set the notification for further processing if required .
Note :
1. The material is a dummy material
2. The intial stock can be one qty which is posted to quality -
from unrestricted and then again to unrestricted.

Hi,
For multiple samples we can use no of sample(SAmpling Procedure) to record more than one results and system will calculate the arithmetic mean of all results of all sample
For this we have to maintain control indicator of MIC . Single result radio button will enable us to record results based on the number of sample defined in sampling procedure
And if you have requirement like different target values at different level,
Then you can configure inpection point -
SPRO > Quality Management > Quality Planning > Inspection Planning > General > Define Identifier for Inspection Points
in this Field act - 2 and give description

SAP implementation in food industry

Hi all
Does anybody has implementaion experience in food industry..
specially wafers industry.....
Coz i wud like to know more abt excise..here for purchasing excise duty has to be paid to vendor ,and this excise duty is loaded on basic price during MIRO
Where as they dont avail the credit
Can anybody share their different experience in food industry .....
This can be helpful for others also those who are implementing SAP in food industry
regds
shail

Hi,
This type of functinality can be Map through using Inventorised excise duty.
In this tax procedure is if TAXINN.
then you have to make tax code using FTXP.
In which you will maintain Condition records for those condition types which are of inventory type rather than set off.
Like for BED - JMIP.
ECS-JEIP
and then two other conditions JMX2 and JEP2.
hope this is clear if any doubt please ask.

Vijay
