Informetric Simplifies Certificates of Analysis
for Major Electronics, Consumer Products,

Paper, and Packaging Suppliers

May 12, 2006 - With recent site commissioning at major manufacturing customers in the Northeast, South, and Midwest US, Informetric Systems has successfully deployed the Informetric COA module across diverse industries, including suppliers to electronics, consumer products, paper, and packaging. A multitude of manufacturing processes and customer documentation requirements have been addressed with this single, configurable software solution.

Customers of manufactured goods are increasingly requiring detailed compliance documentation. Depending upon the industry, this documentation is commonly referred to as Certificates of Analysis (COA), Certificates of Quality (COQ), or Certificates of Compliance. Creating compliance documentation is often a labor-intensive activity, tying up valuable resources that would be better utilized for process and product improvements. Not only is compliance documentation a time-consuming, error-prone task, quite often customer requirements cannot be satisfied in a cost-effective way.

The Informetric COA Module streamlines compliance documentation with a completely configurable reporting suite. The COA Module benefits from Informetric’s experience generating vaccine batch reports for pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers. Data for COAs is automatically acquired from existing manufacturing databases and historians, or manually entered through an electronic log sheet. The COA Module can bridge the gap between various MES, LIMS, and ERP environments.

Informetric has recently completed COA installations across a diverse set of industries. A Fortune 100 manufacturer of components for flat panel LCD displays uses the Informetric COA Module to enable web-based access to order data from sites in Asia. Another Fortune 100 manufacturer of pharmaceutical packaging film has configured the COA module to generate customer-specific order certificates. A third Fortune 100 manufacturer of paper uses the COA module to satisfy the documentation requirements of a leading supplier of consumer products.

Bob Engel, a principal founder of Informetric, states "Certificates of Analysis is a natural progression of Informetric's business given our focus on quality management, data acquisition, and batch reporting. COA's now make our compliance reporting expertise available to manufacturers in virtually any industry where customers require extensive quality documentation on each order or shipment."
