Time-to-independence for new hires dropped from 6 months to 3 months. First-time fix rate improved by 22%. Passed FDA audit with zero maintenance documentation findings. Retired technicians' expertise now lives in accessible system.
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, compliance and consistency are non-negotiable. Yet this global pharma firm faced a silent threat - the retirement of senior technicians who held decades of undocumented knowledge critical to both uptime and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) adherence. With Dovient Copilot, they built a structured, digital memory for their operations. The result: faster onboarding, fewer errors, and higher first-time fix rates - all while meeting FDA and internal documentation requirements.
The plant operated around the clock, producing high-grade active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Equipment ranged from stainless steel reactors and filtration units to PLC-controlled blending and packaging lines. While the facility had a CMMS in place, most actual knowledge transfer happened informally - from senior technicians to juniors, often through shadowing. The pending retirement of two lead engineers created an urgent risk: knowledge gaps that could result in compliance violations or equipment failures.
"Dovient helped us preserve decades of expertise before our senior technicians retired. New hires are now productive in half the time, and we passed our FDA audit with flying colors. This system has become our institutional memory."
Losing experienced technicians doesn't have to mean losing operational stability.
