A pharma company has to be vigilant, focused, and specialized in its operations. This is one sector wherein every possible technique must be implemented to promote learning, amplify innovation, and curate excellence. 

USV is one such pharma company. It is almost a 60-year-old company that began as a joint venture with USV & P Inc. USA, a subsidiary of Revlon. Since then, being respected and admired by patients, physicians, and all stakeholders has been one of their primary visions. And needless to say, they have moved and are moving every obstacle in their path to do so.

USV offers its customers Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), Fixed Dosages Formulations (FDF), Peptides, Biosimilars, and Injectables. These products are manufactured in their cGMP-compliant plants located in India. 

The Case

ASK EHS was introduced to streamline safety processes for different sites and corporate offices. This was a significant hurdle as the locations were spread far and wide geographically. 

But ASK EHS analyzed every tussle and provided them with customized solutions. Our SAFE -EHS Management Software helped them eliminate all the breakers and hurdles they faced via manual systems.

USV’s Challenges

Let us discuss the key challenges faced by USV.

Recording Incidents and Accidents

Due to the spread-out geographical locations, recording incidents and accidents in a stipulated timeline were challenging. 

Tracking Data

CAPAs were identified manually, making it difficult to track if the related activities were completed satisfactorily.

Accessing Past Data

Getting access to past data seemed like a task. As all the calculations were done manually, there were high chances of errors.

No Referential Data

Near-misses and incidents were recoded regularly, but the safety team could not reference them whenever required.

Difficulty in maintaining Environmental Sampling Data

EHS team has to compare and maintain environmental sampling data against benchmark values. Due to manual records, this was a laborious job.

Lack of Seamless Compliance Procedures

It was arduous to manage regulatory compliance certifications renewal, reminders, and notification for expiry as there was no automated system.

ASK EHS went through every point in detail and presented an all-one solution to the USV safety team.
