Our team is focused on your success.

How We Do It – A Service Approach

Our GMP compliance services are provided in three primary service categories:
● Building Facilities & Equipment
● Production & Processes
● Quality Systems

Depending on our clients’ specific needs, we can provide expert assistance in all the service areas, or in only one or two of the service categories listed above, as needed.

Prior to starting any project, we will work with our client’s team to clearly define the scope of our services, our client’s goals and objectives, the regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over the project and a timeline for completion of the services required.

Once engaged, we proceed with our work in a five stage process. Each stage of our work is planned to build on the results of the previous work stage. Once all stages are complete, our client will have a clear path to full GMP compliance.

Our team will work closely with our client’s team and other owner engaged consultants to assure the successful completion of the project.

Our five focused work stages are:
1. DEFINE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
2. REVIEW EXISTING DATA
3. INSPECT/MONITOR/COLLABORATE
4. ANALYZE & EVALUATE
5. ISSUE FINAL REPORT

Whether your project is in the United States or in Europe, is new construction or an existing facility, our organized and in-depth approach to creating GMP compliance solutions will assure that your project will have a successful outcome.

The Phytos team is your best GMP compliance partner.
