| Greetings Pat,
Three pharmaceutical projects done here.
Two US, one European company.
We have KEs specializing in financial services, steel manufacture,
pipeline scheduling, educational/tutorial, etc. But nobody for
pharmaceuticals yet. However, the KE for two of these projects was
Gregg Germain (ESIS::). He might have more info for you. Not sure.
US company:
Project: Automated QSAR
Purpose: Presently highly experienced chemists render opinions on a
test set of compounds under development. These opinions
indicate the payback associated with pursuing a particular
line of research. The expert system will automate this
procedure.
Reason: Present personnel assigned to this task are overloaded. In
addition, the entire research process can be made more
efficient if the chemists working on the compounds can
perform parts of the QSAR at will.
Tools/Language: Epitool
European company
Domain: Pharmaceuticals: Vitamin additives
Project: Pig farm - pig production diagnostic
Purpose: Help Desk and Field Personnel Assistance Advisory System
for offering recommendations on Health, management and
production on pig farms.
Reason: To enhance the pharmaceutical company's position in the
farm feeds additives market by providing farmers with diagnostic
capability on their farms.
Tools/Languages: Nexpert
US company
Project: Laboratory Scheduling
Purpose: To aid production control personnel in the scheduling of a
particularly complex laboratory/work center on the factory
floor.
Reason: To eliminate a sore spot in manufacturing, to increase
productivity and decrease response time.
Tools/Languages: OPS5 and C
