MES/PAS‑X Services Overview
Northline Ops focuses on a core set of consulting services for pharmaceutical manufacturers:
MBR Design & Implementation
Operator‑focused PAS‑X MBR design that reduces batch execution time, removes unnecessary steps, and keeps your records clean and audit‑ready.
MES System Implementation & Rollout
End‑to‑end PAS‑X MES implementation and rollout, from requirements through hypercare, aligned with how your facility actually runs.
Migration
PAS‑X version upgrades and cross‑site transfers that move MBRs, master data, and configuration cleanly, with no surprises in execution.
MES‑to‑MES Platform Replacement
Structured, low‑risk MES platform replacements that preserve operations while fixing long‑standing system and process issues.
Process Optimization
Process‑driven PAS‑X optimization that shortens cycle times, reduces deviations, and makes execution smoother for operators.
Project Management
Comprehensive project oversight with timelines, proactive risk management, and stakeholder coordination that keeps your MES implementation on track and on budget.
Experience
Northline Ops is led by Zac Parrish, who started on the shop floor and has spent the last decade working in pharmaceutical manufacturing and MES consulting, including leading PAS‑X projects across versions 3.1.X through 3.3.X.
Experience includes work at some of the most respected MES consulting firms in the industry, supporting multiple pharma sites, product types, and regulated GxP environments.
About Northline Ops
Northline Ops was started on a simple premise… the people doing the work should be the ones making the decisions. The team has configured PAS‑X, walked batches, trained operators, and fixed broken MES environments, and that experience helps shape every project.
