Fertin Pharma plant adopts Life Sciences for Microsoft Dynamics AX technology

Fertin Pharma, the world leader in the development and manufacture of medical chewing gum, has gone live with Life Sciences for Microsoft Dynamics AX at its medical gum manufacturing plant in Denmark. The software has been implemented to help Fertin meet US FDA regulatory requirements.

The Life Sciences for Microsoft Dynamics AX enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution will enable Fertin to automate its internal back-office processes, helping it to increase staff efficiency, reduce plant and production costs, and optimise quality control. The technology includes functionality to comply with 21 CFR Part 11, ensuring that any electronic records and signatures are reliable. In addition, Fertin is benefiting significantly from the validation documentation component of Life Sciences for Microsoft Dynamics AX.

"We are very excited about the results that have come from this partnership with Fertin Pharma," said Ruediger Dorn, industry lead at Microsoft EMEA for process industry. "Together we have been able to fine-tune Life Sciences for Microsoft Dynamics AX to develop a solution that will help the entire pharmaceutical industry to undertake regulatory validation processes with greater ease."

"We wanted the technology to be precise and cus-tomised specifically for the pharmaceutical industry and, more importantly for us, for medical chewing gum manufacturing," said Soren Seerup, senior vice president of IT at Fertin Pharma. "This was the first time we were able to put on a PC a large-scale manufacturing solution that was cost-effective and very easy to integrate with existing systems."
