Scrum Master with Pharma MES Experience

Location: Remote

Duration: 12+ Months

Project Overview:
Implement OSCAR Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to enable electronic batch records (EBR) with ERP integration for BPG SUD Logan and Nashville Manufacturing. Justification: SUD currently uses paper to document & track lot records through production. A paper-based system contains many wastes & inefficiencies in the process in creation, completion, management, & storage. This project is to transition away from paper-based lot record system to an Electronic Batch Record (EBR) system. This project aligns with business goals of optimizing productivity for greater efficiency in manufacturing and operations. It is also in line with digital transformation to utilize data more in business decisions and the greater goal of MES functionality within operations to enhance quality and productivity even further.
