With the use of Kneat's platform, MSD saw significant results. Process simplification was streamlined down from fifteen to eight steps in their Manufacturing & Research divisions, while the number of systems utilized was reduced from five to two.
"Kneat is an excellent partner, not just because of the technical support, but because we felt as though we were part of the team…..Kneat partnered with us to solve all potential challenges", Ms. Ben-Anat added.
The study demonstrates MSD's culture of continuous improvement including its goal for end-to-end digitalization of all validation and qualification activity in Kneat by 2022. It offers a testament to the proficiency of Kneat's software, covering its user experience, functional capabilities, and the Company's robust relationship management.
