Conducting Mock Audits for Inspection Readiness
Pharmaceutical company with GMP-regulated production
Preparing for a regulatory inspection through mock audits that put production processes, quality systems and documentation to the test in advance.
The challenge
The situation
To prepare for regulatory inspections, production processes, quality systems and internal documentation must be correctly established and clearly presented. Without a structured preliminary review, weaknesses often go undetected until they surface during the actual inspection.
Our approach
What we delivered
Auditing the company's processes to pharmaceutical standards, matching a regulatory inspection in sequence and depth, so that weaknesses surface beforehand rather than on the day.
Recording nonconformities and supporting the CAPA measures
Regular check-ups on the progress of the preparation, so that open points are closed well before the inspection date instead of piling up just ahead of it.
Advice on data and documents, above all on presenting the internal documentation clearly, since an inspection has to take it in within a short time.
Employee coaching and training for the inspection situation itself, so that questions from the inspectors are answered with confidence.
Support with risk assessments as the basis for deciding which processes take priority in the preparation.
