What is Cepheo Quality and Sample Management

Michał Wasiewicz Updated by Michał Wasiewicz

CEPHEO Quality and Sample Management for D365FO is an advanced and highly specialized solution for companies within process manufacturing or other industry having same LIMS requirements, which builds upon the comprehensive functionality available in Microsoft D365FO.The module is the 'core' part of the package 'CEPHEO Process Industry'. When working in the processing industry, the requirement to be in control of the quality processes is often quite different from the processes in the discrete industry. Terms such as ‘Release during Continuous production’; ‘Sequence for performing quality control’; ‘Automatic release after freezing/maturing’ are examples of terms frequently used. Requirement to quality control is often extensive and decision for release of products/Batch are based on several tests performed on samples taken from Batch and/or LP´s during receiving, production or handling. Tests can be handled by internal and/or external qualified personal and Lab. Handling of samples and ability to perform release of LP´s in a continues production environment with long time production of the same Batch, is therefore a key element for the quality processes. Process manufacturing is the branch of manufacturing that is associated with formulas and manufacturing recipes. Process manufacturing is common in the food, poultry, beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, consumer packaged goods, and biotechnology industries. In process manufacturing, the relevant factors are ingredients, not parts; formulas, not bills of materials; and bulk materials rather than individual units; and usage of the term’s Co-product, By-products, planning items and yield. This module is adding a lot of the basic functionality needed for the processing industry using D365FO as ERP platform. This will cover features like:

  1. Disposition code introduced for on-hand stored on license plates (LP)
  2. Setup of frequency indication for creation of a quality order (advanced quality associations)
  3. Setup of frequency indication for execution of a test in a test group
  4. Advanced quality orders
  5. Test priority on advanced quality orders
  6. Supplemental test handling
  7. Automatic validation of advanced quality orders
  8. Automatic release of Batch/LP
  9. Multiple active quality orders for the same Batch/LP
  10. Disposition time for availability of Batch/LP
  11. Warehouse policy for input blocking certain disposition code on warehouse locations
  12. Sample creation, manually or automated in a planned sequence
  13. Printing of sample labels
  14. Sample registration with planned sequence for creation of quality orders
  15. Storage of reference samples
  16. Stability testing
  17. Release control of LP in continuous production flow within the same Batch
  18. Sample handling using handheld devices
  19. Quality work forecasting
  20. Batch manufacturing date logic
  21. Formula yield

All the above, and much more, is described in detail in this document. This module is part of a collection of modules, that all together is the total offer from CEPHEO for the process industry running D365FO, as ERP platform. When all modules are installed, the overall production flow is designed to support all processes shown in the following figures:
