Julphar Replaces Manual QMS with AmpleLogic EQMS

Julphar is one of the largest pharmaceutical manufacturers in the Middle East, Headquartered in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. The company employs more than 5,000 people and distributes its pharmaceutical products to more than 50 countries on five continents and having 16 internationally accredited facilities that produce more than a million boxes of medicine a day including tablets, syrups, suspensions, creams and injectables.

Business Challenge

Julphar was challenged with manual and paper-based quality management processes. Everything from change control, deviations, investigations and CAPAs (Corrective and Preventive Actions), audit and complaints were paper files that were transferred from one department to the other and filed away. Furthermore, these process were often disconnected and did not support the desired level of accountability. This made it difficult to assign, manage and track quality process tasks and lead to a lack of continuity between processes, poor visibility and inability to effectively conduct proper analysis. They acknowledged that this disconnected and outdated approach to quality management posed increased regulatory compliance risk to the organization. Reports would get lost within the organization or be filed improperly, and collecting and reporting on information from various teams took considerable time and effort.

Lack of data visibility among key team members, employees were adversely impacted by the resulting email overload. Additionally, information on events and deviations did not always reach the correct individuals through email channels and had to follow up through in-person or calls.

The use of spreadsheets and departmental databases created the potential for lost records, overdue investigations, and duplicate documents, and presented the risk of not meeting compliance regulations.

In overcome these challenges faced with existing quality management process, Julphar team thought of having a electronic quality system that would standardize, and automate multiple processes throughout all entities of the business by eliminating paper and disparate solutions to address quality issues, provide visibility into their quality operations processes across the entire enterprise, and improve collaboration between different departments, offices, and regions.
