 The
following is a list of the primary modules that are available with the
Orion Platform.
FM indicates a Formulation Module
RM indicates a Raw Material Module
|
Core application module
Foundation for base functionality and for added modules
Orion FM Builder
Primary interface by formulators and others Used to create, modify, and
exchange formula composition Designed for benchtop formulation and can be
expanded for pilot or manufacturing
Orion RM Administrator
Used by groups who maintain and track a
library of incoming raw materials Also, used to attach and track supplemental
information (e.g. MSDS or Certificate of Analysis)
Orion FM Quality
Used to enter results from formula
testing Simplifies the process of selecting, analysis, and tracking formula
results When used with FM Analyst, simplifies submission of formulas for testing
Orion FM Stability
Used to track shelf-life of products
Simplifies the process of preparing, fielding, tracking, and reporting stability
information Allows user to quickly build a stability protocol using previous
tests or a standardized library Provides sample labels and pull instructions
Orion FM Pilot
Used to scale up lab formulas to a pilot
environment Provides additional screens and fields to make it easy to track key
production variables Batch disposition, packaging and yield accounting functions
When tied into RM inventory system, users can check and order needed raw
materials Seamless integration with Visio makes it easy to design and store
processing schematics
Orion FM Management
Used to review and approve formulas and
related information Creates an approval path based on user input and required
review team is notified Gives you the ability to track the approval process
Orion FM Analyst
Used to add analytical information to the
formula's profile User submits formulas electronically to analytical dept.,
specifying testing to be conducted, analyst is notified. Testing results are
then added to the formula profile and submitter is notified Formulator submits
sample for testing, analyst is notified, then results are entered into the
formula profile with notification to the formulator
Orion FM Cost Accounting
Maintains a cost library of materials
used to provide quick estimates on formula costs at development Supports
different levels of cost estimation- experimental costs, estimated cost and
proposed cost Supports request for cost to allow bids from suppliers
Orion FM Portal
Collection of tools integrated into the
Orion Enterprise Allows you to search and retrieve formulas and raw material
information on-line Enables user to post requests for suppliers (e.g. samples,
MSDS, Analysis)
Orion FM Knowledge Base
Used to store information on key
resources available to user Resources can be organized by type, specialty,
technology and application
Orion FM Documentum Interface
Allows Orion users to store formula
information in a Documentum centralized docbase Includes Submit and Retrieve
features as well as setting formula attributes and searching Does not include
customization of Documentum or other Documentum costs
Orion FM Oracle Interface
Allows Orion users to store formula
information in a Oracle centralized database Includes Submit and Retrieve
features as well as setting formula fields and searching Does not include
customization of Oracle DB or other Oracle costs
Orion FM Access Interface
Allows Orion users to store formula
information in an Access-based centralized database Includes Submit and Retrieve
features Does not include customization of Access DB or other Access costs
Orion FM Workgroup Library
Common repository that can be used by
small (less than 20) formulators to share formula information
Orion Enhanced Maintenance
Allows customers to pool support needs
and allocate resources accordingly. Level of support will depend on number of
covered users and project size Support allocation can be used for defect
resolution, help desk support, added documentation, training, upgrades
Orion System Management
Used by system administrators, and
contains features not available to general users Examples include ability to
globally change key formula properties, use conversion or data loading functions
in batch mode, set specific user configurations.
Orion FM Reporting
Allows user to customize formula output,
producing consistent formula reports for use in documentation / specifications.
Default reporting on Orion Enterprise Core includes producing a batch sheet and
formula report. FM Reporting extends this feature to allow creation of
customized formula reports Orion FM Vendor Used to exchange formula and raw
material information with vendors Users can check raw material info, request
samples, obtain MSDS and certificate of analysis
Orion FM MSDS
Used to simplify the process of creating
MSDS for finished products or raw materials An MSDS wizard leads user through
the various sections
Orion FM Dossier
Used to create complex documents for
individual components such as the formula description, MSDS, and processing
schematic
Orion User Interface Design
Allows user to modify the standard screens or access detailed documentation
about the user interface to allow design of things such as training and
documentation
