Case Study: Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Company cuts line changeover time from 14 days to 3 days with Tulip

Leveraged apps to reduce line changeover time from 14 days to 3

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Company faced a time-consuming, error-prone line changeover driven by 80-page paper SOPs and limited visibility into sub-process durations—what once took 14 days was difficult for new and experienced technicians to execute reliably. To address this, the company partnered with Tulip and its Frontline Operations Platform to digitize and validate the complex changeover procedure.

Tulip implemented a suite of interconnected apps — including a main router dashboard, step-by-step workflow apps, and GxP-validatable checklists and data entry fields — to guide technicians and capture detailed process metrics. The Tulip solution reduced changeover time from 14 days to 3 days, cut costly mistakes, simplified training, and provided managers with actionable data on task-level performance.
