When this is the right fit

Common triggers we see before inspections or during remediation projects:

Upcoming FAGG/AFMPS/IGJ/FDA inspection or internal audit escalation

Recent major/critical findings or repeated observations across inspections

Deviation/CAPA backlog increasing, weak effectiveness checks, slow closure

Inconsistent execution of SOPs on the shopfloor or between shifts/sites

Evidence gaps: incomplete records, unclear rationale, weak inspection story

What clients see

Example (anonymised)

A site faced repeated inspection observations and an increasing CAPA backlog. PCS performed a focused readiness review, created a risk-ranked remediation plan, and supported execution governance—resulting in a clearer inspection narrative and measurable closure progress.

Frequently asked questions

Both. For diagnostics and sprints we often propose a fixed scope with clear deliverables; embedded support is typically time-based.

Depending on urgency and availability, we can often start with a triage call immediately and plan initial on-site work within days.

We typically combine both: on-site for shopfloor assessment and key workshops; remote for document reviews, governance, and execution support.

We support your internal ownership. We align roles early, build a realistic plan, and help your team execute with clear governance and capability transfer.
