Neuland Laboratories Ltd. will launch a mobile app version of its GuarD project management system this week at Informex USA in New Orleans. Saharsh R. Davuluri, president of Contract Research at Neuland, described GuarD as “a powerful collaborative tool that has helped increase Neuland’s record of on-time production by identifying critical subtasks and enabling team leaders and customers to monitor and track progress at every stage in real-time.” He added that the mobile phone app “allows our customers and team members to access the capabilities of the GuarD system at anytime and anywhere.”

GuarD was developed to make the company’s manufacturing process completely transparent and is an extension of its customers’ resources. It allows the user to fully participate in project planning and real-time tracking. GuarD uses the principles of Critical Chain Project Management, which emphasizes resource availability and flexibility to maintain project timelines.

Together with the customer, Neuland creates a detailed project plan that is viewable in an online template. GuarD allows the team to keep customers up-to-date on the progress of projects, providing critical information on the latest task updates, expected time of completion and potential challenges. According to the company, the GuarD system makes it easy to identify and manage delays at any step in the process.
