Datlabs (Pvt) Ltd” By Ncube Mayibongwe K

ABSTRACT

Datlabs Pvt ltd is a pharmaceutical manufacturing company. Its main thrust is the, manufacture of various drugs under license and focuses less on drug research. Datlabs Pvt Ltd was using a manual system to train its employees and to document drug reactions. The use of the manual system made it difficult for Datlabs to keep their employee training up to date and also whenever they had training a lot of work was put on hold as the employees or those being trained had to physically be present at the training sessions. The characteristics of the manual system meant the employees were always backward on the current international pharmaceutical standards and thus the company was not conforming to the ISO and MCAZ standards that it is to adhere to. Since the system was manual it was prone to lots of data redundancy, as the drug reaction files were handled in several departments and by several individuals. The idea of the computerised system was partly inspired by the non-efficient functionality of the manual system and secondly the general outdated nature of manual systems
