Automated creation of Product Quality Reviews

The Intelligent Automation of the creation of product quality reviews for a leading manufacturer of high-quality Pharmaceuticals was a challenge lexoro gladly accepted. Quality assurance meant a very high time commitment for the client, often an entire team did this task full time with annual review required.

The challenge

The manual compilation of all relevant information from various systems for the PQR and own product quality reviews for each product group did mean a very high time expenditure. lexoro´s challenge: An Intelligent Automation of the data collection, filling and document generation of Product Quality Reviews.

The problem

  • Very high time expenditure
  • Manual compilation of all relevant information from different systems
  • Formatting and aggregation of text and data
  • Document generation of PQR for each product group

Customer

Our customer is a leading manufacturer of high-quality Pharmaceuticals and sells its products in around 120 countries worldwide. The product range includes generics, specialty Pharmaceuticals and prescription-free consumer healthcare products.

The solution: Intelligent Automation of PQR with lexoro

To optimize the PQR, lexoro has automated data transfer processes through 100% error-free RPA technology. Thanks to the RPA and NLG technology implemented by lexoro, the client could benefit from time saving or automation level of about 70% and top experts can focus on other topics.

The process

Together with the customer, criteria and templates have been defined. Using Robotic Process Automation RPA technology a software robot automatically copies the relevant data, texts and tables from in-house systems and sources. Using Natural Language Processing (NLP), necessary texts or text elements are modified and rewritten, e.g., tenses (present/future tense in past tense) are adapted and codes with the final terminology in the text are replaced. Relevant tables are automatically evaluated & summarized for the respective chapter. Based on the content of the tables, appropriate descriptive texts can be generated using Natural Language Generation (NLG). Finally the PQR or related documents can be automatically filled and populated with text, tables, or other data and exported for further manual processing and adjustment.
