Redesigning BMR Execution Into a Fully Digital, Plant-Ready Workflow

About Project

BMRs record every production step, ensuring traceability and compliance across the plant.

Initially, the digital BMR creation module was used by only 4 facilities in a single country.

After our redesign, its clarity, structure, and usability led to rapid adoption expanding to 36+ facilities across 4 countries worldwide. This success, Audree chose to collaborate with us again to digitise the execution phase, which was still dependent on paper logbooks, handwritten entries, and manual coordination.

The goal: a fully digital, end-to-end BMR lifecycle connecting   creation → approval → execution → batch completion.

Core Business Challenges

Poor User Adoption Due to Outdated Experience

Since execution remained fully paper-based, teams relied on logbooks and handwritten entries making the system hard to adopt and driving users to offline workarounds.

Stuck in a Loop, Slowed by Inefficiency

Paper-based execution, repeated entries, scattered logbooks, and recurring support tickets kept teams stuck in the same loops slowing batch completion.

Heavy Dependence on Manual Coordination

Execution relied on calls, supervisor follow-ups, and manual verification, creating delays and increasing the risk of errors and inconsistencies.

Our Approach

Mapping User Flows to Uncover Hidden Gaps

We mapped how BMRs actually move from drafting to on-floor execution, uncovering gaps in transitions, repeated steps, and manual coordination. This helped us design one continuous digital flow instead of disconnected stages.

Mapping User Flows to Uncover Hidden Gaps

Designing BMR Execution Into a  Seamless Digital Workflow

We extended the BMR redesign from creation and approval to full on-floor execution, Execution was rebuilt into guided, stage-wise digital flows with clear instructions, validations, and role-based actions. With digital sign-offs and a unified Manufacturing–Packing view, teams no longer switch between PDFs or logbooks making execution faster, clearer, and fully traceable.

Streamlined BMR Creation for Real Production Needs

We refined the BMR creation module by aligning it with the new execution workflow and using real production feedback. Stages were streamlined and statuses clarified, making the creation-to-issuance flow more structured and better connected.

Turning Paper-Heavy Execution Into a Real-Time Digital Workflow

We digitised the entire shop-floor execution flow with guided steps, digital checklists, and real-time prompts that match actual manufacturing sequences.  Paper logbooks and offline verification were replaced with actionable tasks, built-in validations, equipment mapping, and digital sign-offs all reducing errors and speeding up execution.  role-based views, and instant QA visibility ensure smoother operations and faster batch closure.

Production Steps Made Instantly Understandable

Progress indicators make each stage of execution easy to follow. Operators instantly know what’s completed, what’s in progress, and what’s next reducing confusion and ensuring a clarity.

A Modern UI for Faster, Cleaner Batch Records

Every screen is built for clarity clean tables, guided actions, and visual indicators help users move faster, reduce errors, and stay aligned across production and QA.

Results That Transformed   BMR Lifecycle

Clearer workflows, connected stages, and a fully digital execution process accelerated manufacturing, reduced errors, and strengthened traceability across every plant.

Stronger Compliance & Traceability

Real-time QA visibility, instant   e-signatures, automated logs, and structured checklists reduced errors and rework. Each action is now fully traceable, improving audit readiness and reducing compliance gaps.

Faster API Batch Execution

Streamlined digital flows replaced paper logbooks and manual entries, enabling operators to move through each stage quickly with guided steps and automated validations. This drastically shortened execution time across manufacturing lines.

Reduced Follow-ups & Support Dependency

Unified records, clearer stage visibility, and predictable version-controlled updates reduced user confusion and dependency on support teams. Teams no longer chase updates every detail is visible in the flow itself.
