Life Science — SOP Update Management for Compliance in Life Sciences

Overview

The purpose of this DAG is to streamline the management of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) within the life sciences industry, ensuring that they remain current and compliant with evolving business processes and regulatory requirements. The workflow is triggered by changes in business processes or regulations, which initiate the identification of obsolete SOPs. The data sources include existing SOP documentation, regulatory updates, and internal process change logs. The ingestion pipeline ca

The purpose of this DAG is to streamline the management of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) within the life sciences industry, ensuring that they remain current and compliant with evolving business processes and regulatory requirements. The workflow is triggered by changes in business processes or regulations, which initiate the identification of obsolete SOPs. The data sources include existing SOP documentation, regulatory updates, and internal process change logs. The ingestion pipeline captures these changes and feeds them into the processing steps. The processing steps involve several key stages: first, the system identifies outdated SOPs based on predefined criteria; next, it schedules updates by assigning tasks to relevant stakeholders; then, it facilitates the drafting of revised SOPs using collaborative tools. Following the drafting phase, the updated SOPs undergo quality control, where expert validations are conducted to ensure accuracy and compliance. Finally, the system communicates the changes to all relevant users through automated notifications. Quality controls are integral to this process, with validations by subject matter experts ensuring that all updates meet industry standards. Monitoring KPIs include the time taken for updates and the compliance rate post-update, providing insights into the efficiency of the update process. The business value of this DAG lies in its ability to reduce the risk of non-compliance, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure that all personnel are equipped with the most current procedural guidelines.
