INNOVATIONS IN ERP CUSTOMIZATION:ENHANCING FLEXIBILITY FOR DYNAMICPHARMACEUTICAL WORKFLOWS
Keywords:
Enterprise Resource Planning, Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, Regulatory Compliance, Microservices Architecture, Machine Learning OptimizationAbstract
This article examines the evolution and impact of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) customization innovations in the pharmaceutical industry, focusing on how modern systems address the challenges of complex regulatory environments and dynamic operational demands. The article analyzes the transformation from traditional ERP implementations to contemporary solutions incorporating artificial intelligence, microservices architecture, and low-code platforms. Key areas of investigation include modular ERP designs, API-first architectures, smart connectors, and machine-learning optimization techniques. The article demonstrates how these innovations have significantly improved system flexibility, regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and user productivity while reducing implementation costs and maintenance efforts. Special attention is given to the role of automated compliance checking, real-time validation frameworks, and adaptive interfaces in meeting the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical manufacturing environments.
