How to solve the problem of SOP system establishment and update in enterprise management and project execution?
In terms of Enterprise Management:
1. Sloppy enterprise management: lack of a solid systematic process and management framework, non-standard management system, SOP formulation may deviate from the actual situation of the company.
2. SOP processes unclear: there are situations not in line with current industry standards, in considering whether the development of SOPs meets the actual situation of the company.
3. SOP diversity: due to outsourcing different CRO companies, most SOPs used are from CRO companies, no internal accumulation of standard SOP; and commissioning studies to a third party is not reliable. Without certain management tools, it is difficult to be informed that the commissioned parties implement in accordance with the standards; have difficulty managing studies.
4. Multiple teams: nearly 300+ people in Lepu Beijing team, Miracogen team, US team, expert team, and CRO team; mixed experience of internal/external personnel, high cost of personnel training; high mobility of personnel, easy loopholes in the management process, affecting study quality.
In terms of Study Implementation:
1. The system is easy to establish but difficult to implement, with limited acceptance of systematization due to the different professional abilities and work experiences of personnel.
2. SOPs do not run smoothly and need to be revised repeatedly during implementation, and the process is lengthy. 3. SOPs updates are frequent and difficult; GCP is not followed and the quality is low.
4. Although the enterprise SOP system is huge and complex, some SOP files are merged, overlapped, and fuzzy. Some content is difficult to search, some folders include too much content, and some departments have different systems with ambiguous content boundaries.
