As a supplier to the pharmaceutical industry, Ampac Fine Chemicals (AFC) must operate in full compliance with the FDA’s current good manufacturing practices. The company is automating many aspects of its quality system with Oracle Process Manufacturing, which allows it to standardize and control its end-to-end manufacturing processes.
AFC also uses Oracle Process Manufacturing and Oracle E-Records to help ensure an audit trail of materials, as well as manufacturing and distribution processes, by providing a framework for securely capturing, storing and printing regulations-compliant electronic records and signatures.
Beyond automating its quality system, AFC is using Oracle Process Manufacturing to drive greater operational efficiency and productivity in its manufacturing operations. With Oracle, the company is automating core manufacturing management processes and building a single source of information that enables visibility across the entire manufacturing lifecycle from scheduling and work-in-progress through to distribution, release to customer and invoice payment.
The Oracle Applications have also been integrated with the company’s materials requirements planning process to improve scheduling and help ensure that the correct raw materials are at the appropriate manufacturing facility when needed.
In addition, AFC has automated core financial processes with Oracle software and extended visibility into critical data across the enterprise to drive improved efficiency and more informed decisions.
