LIMS with SAP^®

With the ”SAP^® based LIMS” solution you will achieve:

• High level of automation
• Transparency
• Cost reduction
• Security and
• Full integration

Results from research and development, analytics and production accompanying tests are recorded, managed, and developed further using LIMS. This mostly involves proprietary applications that are not integrated into the corporate processes. Communication to the ERP system is realized via intricately implemented and costly interfaces, if at all.

With regard to the development and worldwide adoption of “LIMS with SAP^®“ at Novartis on the basis of the SAP^® Applications “QM“ and “PM“, DHC has acquired unique know-how and is the leading consulting company for the adoption of SAP^® eLIMS. The responsible Programme Manager will present his experiences from the project that was conducted by DHC from the outset, at the DHC Life Science Forum in Karlsruhe, on 10/27/2010.

The advantage of implementing these functions in SAP^® ERP is the automatic integration into the company’s logistics chain: Direct integration of the DHC solution LIMS with SAP^® through production planning and material management to sales guarantees the highest level of transparency for mapping the following processes:

• Quality Planning                             - Stability Studies
