Prescribing Smarter Production

A TrakSYS-powered manufacturing optimization story at Schering-Plough, delivered with Parsec partner HSI Smart Solutions

Schering-Plough, now part of Merck & Co., has a long history of developing and manufacturing pharmaceutical products for global markets. Operating in a highly regulated industry, the organization manages complex production processes across multiple manufacturing stages.

As regulatory requirements became more stringent and customer demand increased, the team recognized the need to optimize production and reduce process variability. Limited real-time data and disparate implementations made it challenging to gain consistent insight into performance and capacity.

To move forward, Schering-Plough collaborated with Parsec Certified Partner HSI Smart Solutions to pursue a more connected, data-driven approach to manufacturing operations, focused on improving visibility and standardization without disrupting existing infrastructure.

In this case study, we explore how HSI Smart Solutions worked with Schering-Plough to:

• Deliver real-time production data to support scheduling and decision-making
• Improve visibility into capacity, bottlenecks, and process variability
• Strengthen standard operating procedures through consistent data access
• Enable root-cause analysis and continuous improvement initiatives
• Support regulatory compliance across pharmaceutical operations
