Reducing Human Error In Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

By Martin Boisvert, Sales Executive for Regulatory Compliance and Validation

Few experts would dispute that human error is the cause of most pharmaceutical manufacturing failures.Some estimate it to be as high as 80 percent!

The traditional approach has been to pass as much of the operation as possible on to machines and computers, which tend to be more reliable. New advances in workflow software, however, now make human actions more reliable by guiding them in implementing standard procedures. This combines machine-like efficiency and accuracy with the flexibility of human operation.
