Frequently asked questions
PharmaSoft is committed to empowering pharmaceutical and biotech teams with trusted, compliant, and fully validated digital solutions supported by expert guidance across quality, manufacturing, and laboratory operations.
What preventive maintenance frequency schedules does the module support?
Daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly, half yearly, and yearly PM schedules are supported configurable per equipment type and manufacturer recommendation.
How are PM checklists created and managed in the system?
PM checklists are configured per equipment type with required tasks, acceptance criteria, and sign off requirements. Checklists are version controlled and approval tracked like other GMP documents.
How does the system manage technician assignments and work scheduling?
PM tasks are assigned to qualified technicians based on equipment type, location, and availability. Assigned technicians receive digital worksheets and automated notifications.
How are PM results reviewed and approved?
Completed PM checklists go through a configurable approval workflow before closure, ensuring supervisory or QA oversight of all maintenance activities.
How does eCalPM manage spare parts inventory for PM activities?
The spare parts management feature tracks stock levels, usage per PM activity, and reorder requirements ensuring parts are available when scheduled PM activities are due.
What happens if a PM activity is not completed on time?
Overdue PM activities trigger escalation notifications to supervisors. Equipment with significantly overdue PM can be flagged as restricted from use until PM is completed.
How does the module help reduce unexpected equipment breakdowns?
By ensuring all preventive maintenance activities are completed on schedule, the module reduces equipment failure rates by systematically addressing wear and potential failure conditions before they result in breakdowns.
Can PM activities be tracked across multiple plants or facilities?
Yes. The system is scalable to plant or enterprise-wide installation, with centralized PM management and site-specific equipment and technician assignments.
What performance analytics and reports does the PM module provide?
Dashboards include PM completion rates, overdue PM summary, equipment availability metrics, maintenance tracking, and auto-generated MIS reports in PDF format.
Is the Preventive Maintenance module compliant with regulatory requirements such as 21 CFR Part 11?
Yes. The module complies with 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 requirements, supporting electronic signatures, audit trails, secure user access, and data integrity controls to ensure all maintenance records are secure, traceable, and audit-ready for inspections.
