Five Elements of a Superior LMS for Pharmaceutical/Manufacturing

Organizations across the life sciences, biotech, and industrial manufacturing sectors need to rely on LMS software that brings all training resources together in one single cohesive, unified software system.  Here are five key elements of a superior LMS for regulated industries:

1.  Your LMS software manages SOP’s.
2. Your LMS organizes a Training Matrix by Job Role, matched to Name.
3. Your LMS software automates notifications.
4. Your LMS allows users to print transcripts
5. Your LMS provides extensive reporting to employees and managers, along with auditors!

Let’s explain.

Your LMS software manages SOP’s.

At its heart, the LMS must manage Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in a regulated environment. SOPs aim to achieve efficiency, quality output, and uniformity of performance while reducing miscommunication and failure to comply with industry regulations. Your LMS should facilitate SOP creation and integrate formal approval processes, along with providing periodic reviews and archiving. 

The SyberWorks LMS can turn an SOP into a read-and-sign course. The system can also use a survey form for a worker to be observed by a supervisor, which documents that the procedure has been done properly. This document can be referred to at any later date and becomes part of the training library.

Your LMS organizes a Training Matrix by Job Role, matched to Name.

Your LMS should help you organize your training with a Training Matrix that matches specific Job Roles to individual users/employees. Too many organizations have different formats for who trains who and when on different SOPs. By creating a Training Matrix, you efficiently organize your teams and ensure that training is accomplished appropriately.

Your LMS software automates notifications.

It is critical for any LMS to automate notifications, both as part of the system and linked to e-mail.  Users receive information about upcoming courses on specific schedules for upcoming or past-due coursework.  These notifications can be sent to various users, supervisors, and managers, and the timing is customized to your business requirements.

Your LMS allows users to print transcripts.

The LMS should allow any user to print a transcript of a course completion at any time.  This information is stored in the LMS and can be retrieved whenever necessary.  Reports of transcripts can be provided to management or outside related entities, as needed/required.

Your LMS provides extensive reporting to employees and managers, along with auditors!

Extensive reporting should be a key feature of your LMS; reports can be easily furnished to individual users, management, or auditors, providing real-time visibility into completion rates.  Everything is stored in the LMS and can be called up at a moment’s notice.  The SyberWorks team will also create unique reports that fit your individual reporting requirements.

Along with managing your SOPs, your LMS can manage other training as well!
