Project Consulting
Total responsibility for delivering a specified Scope of Work throughout all stages of the project lifecycle: Strategy > Planning > Execution > Delivery
Managed Services
Shared responsibilities, in partnership with your team, to provide continuous improvement programs that improve efficiency due to chaotic environments after FDA review & approval.
Specialized Support
Providing individuals to execute specialized tasks under your management.
Process
A proven, systematic process for project execution
To help expedite your project timeline and get your facility production-ready, we offer a science- and risk-based CQV project plan, based on our industry knowledge, common project pitfalls and compliance best practices. Our proactive, hands-on approach allows us to anticipate issues before they arise, adjust quickly as project variables change and seamlessly adapt as projects become more complicated along the way. This results in a smoother overall project execution and reduced timeline to turn over a facility fit for intended use that is ready for inspection.
Requirement Definition
Our SMEs use a systematic approach of developing user- and functional- requirement specifications for facilities, utilities, processes, software and systems to ensure key components such as CQAs, CPPs, product knowledge, process knowledge and sequence of operations are defined to reflect desired the functionality and intended use.
Design Review
Sequence will perform Design Reviews throughout the project design lifecycle in order to yield the Design Qualification deliverables for Direct Impact systems. Our SMEs perform DR/DQ activities as documented evidence that the design of new equipment and/or software is suitable for intended use.
Strategy & Planning
Whether you need support for an existing facility or a new one, our team of experts can develop and implement strategies to bring the full scope of your manufacturing and engineering project into a compliant state, by utilizing a science and risk-based approach (i.e. ASTM-e2500, ISPE Baseline Guidance, etc.) and quality-by-design concepts. Available strategies include:
- Risk Management (per ICH Q9)
- Science-Based
- Establish CQAs, CPPs, Control Strategies (CDEs), and Critical Aspects via product risk assessments and system risk assessments
- Leveraged Vendor Documentation
- Perform Vendor Assessments
- Continuous Improvement
- Operational and Performance Data (Data Analytics)
- Change Management
- Good Engineering Practice (GEP) – SME Driven
- Data Integrity Assessment/Testing Strategy
- Periodic Review for Established Systems
Planning is critical when performing a risk-based CQV effort. Our team of experts will develop CQV plans (Site VMP, Commissioning Plan, IT Validation, Lab Validation, Computer System Validation, and Process Validation) based on industry standards and guidelines to cover the following components:
- Documentation Practices (GDP)
- Change Management
- Deviation Management
- System Assessments
- Impact Assessments
- Risk Assessments
- Part 11 Assessments
- Boundary Identification
- Leveraging Strategies
- Vendor Assessments
Testing
We will assist you with the development and execution of deliverables to demonstrate fit for intended use as defined in the specifications.
Turnover
Our team will help you create the final package needed for turnover, which will include documented evidence of your facility's fit for intended use and its preparedness for inspection.
