The importance of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure the quality and safety of drug products. GMP aims to ensure that all pharmaceutical preparations, including sterile drugs such as infusions and injections, meet strict quality standards. Sterility testing is an important aspect even though it has limitations, such as long incubation times and low probability of detecting contamination. Therefore, any sterility test results that do not meet the requirements must be further investigated to find the cause, either from laboratory errors or contamination in the production process. In addition, the implementation of technical and managerial aspects in accordance with GMP, such as temperature and humidity control, is very important to maintain product quality. This article also highlights the use of modern technologies, such as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), to improve efficiency and transparency in the drug production process, so that it can meet all the provisions set.

This final report aims to design a website-based electronic archiving system using PHP and MyAdmin. The data collection method used by the author in this research is the field research method through interviews, observation, library research, and descriptive qualitative data analysis techniques using the waterfall method, namely the Development Life Cycle (SDLC) system, which is used to develop information systems in the website creation process. This method uses a systematic and gradual approach. This electronic filing system can help companies overcome various obstacles when recording and rediscovering documents. Automating processes in the system in systematic recording and storage can save time and help provide information quickly so that the administrative process is smooth. Reduces the use of paper (less paper) because documents are stored in digital format, so documents will not pile up and can reduce the use of archive storage space. In electronic archiving, there is no longer a need to manually record the agenda for incoming and outgoing letters, because when recording transactions, incoming or outgoing letters will be automatically recorded on the agenda for incoming or outgoing letters. For the system to continue running optimally, it is recommended that companies carry out employee training, routine system maintenance, continuous development, implementation of information security policies, and regular system performance monitoring.  Implementing these recommendations is expected to increase operational efficiency and accessibility of company information
