# Production control

For pharmaceutical manufacturers and CMOs, the manufacturing process represents the most critical area from a GMP perspective, since most of the information, tasks, and reports in production have a direct impact on the traceability of the product and thus its quality and patients’ safety.

Life Sciences Supply Chain Management provides features supporting the manufacturing process, such as:

- Capability to automatically [generate the batch number for manufactured material based on the batch order status](/life-sciences/docs/advanced-batch-numbering).
- Capability to manage [use code controls](/life-sciences/docs/use-code). For additional information about [use code controls in mobile device](/life-sciences/docs/use-code-controls-in-mobile-device-processes), please refer to the Implementation Guide for Life Sciences Warehouse Management module.
- [Advanced expiration dates validation](/life-sciences/docs/material-validation-in-the-production-picking-list-journal) during production consumption.
- Capability to generate an [electronic batch record](/life-sciences/docs/electronic-batch-record).
