What We Do is Clear.
Here’s What That Looks Like in the Real World.

From facility expansions and lab relocations to regulatory recovery and FDA close-outs, 2040 Consulting delivers GMP-critical results under tight timelines and global scrutiny.



 

€120M Sterile BDS Expansion
→ Impact: Europe

- Project Type: Full facility acceleration | EMA / HPRA / FDA
- Duration: 18 months

A new market contract required GMP-ready bulk-drug-substance manufacturing within 18 months. Missing the timeline would forfeit first-mover advantage and multi-year revenue.

- Results:

  • Delivered €120M facility on schedule and inspection-ready
  • All CQV protocols executed with zero critical observations
  • First GMP batches released on time for market launch

- Our Role:
Embedded as senior project lead, we aligned engineering, CQV, and procurement, compressed the CQV timeline, and ensured zero regulatory slippage.

$250M Combination-Product Line Expansion
→ Impact: North America

- Project Type: Device + packaging + serialization build | FDA / Health Canada
- Duration: 18 months

To capitalize on a new auto-injector opportunity, the client had to add a full device-packaging line on a sterile fill-finish campus—without halting live production.

- Results:

  • Commercial lots released to US and Canada
  • FDA & Health Canada inspections passed with zero observations
  • First GMP batches released on time for market launch

- Our Role:
Acted as GMP integration lead across capital, validation, and QA, delivering an 18-month expansion with zero production downtimee.

QC Lab Relocation & Requalification
→ Impact: EU

- Project Type: Lab move | HPRA / FDA
- Duration: 12 months

A solid-oral-dose site needed to move all QC functions—including stability and water testing—to a new building, without interrupting production or batch release.

- Results:

  • All equipment calibrated and qualified on schedule
  • No observations during HPRA or FDA inspections
  • Stability program resumed with zero data integrity concerns

- Our Role:
Led the relocation end-to-end: capital approval, vendor coordination, change-controls, and full IOQ/PQ—all without a single hour of production downtime.

Global QC Method-Transfer
→ Impact: US, PR, EU

- Project Type: Method transfer for 13 biologics | HPRA / FDA
- Duration: 12 months

To hit regulatory filing deadlines, 13 biologic products (20 methods each) had to be transferred from US and PR sites to 4 EU labs—amid resource constraints and stalled logistics.

- Results:

  • 13 products / 20 methods each transferred to 4 labs
  • Zero repeat investigations
  • Awarded Corporate Project-Delivery Award for quality and timeline

- Our Role:
Acted as Method-Transfer Site Lead, aligning global teams, unblocking reagent supply, and executing the company’s fastest transfer ever.

Compliance Crisis Turnaround
→ Impact: EU

- Project Type: Critical findings recovery | HPRA
- Duration: 12 weeks

HPRA issued multiple Critical and Major findings. Batch release froze, CAPAs ballooned, and reputation eroded by the week.

- Results:

  • 100% deviation backlog cleared in 90 days
  • Full QMS rebuilt on schedule
  • No repeat findings on reinspection

- Our Role:
Led a single, senior-led taskforce to triage CAPAs, rebuild the QMS, and satisfy regulators before escalating penalties took hold.

FDA 483 / OAI Recovery
→ Impact: India

- Project Type: OAI remediation | FDA
- Duration: 24 months

After receiving an FDA 483 with OAI status, the site faced halted batch release, regulatory heat, and investor pressure. Internal teams could not close fast enough.

- Results:

  • US batch release reinstated while still under OAI
  • 60% deviation backlog cut in 90 days
  • Site moved toward compliance; remediation plan accepted by FDA

- Our Role:
Embedded a senior taskforce to lead risk-ranked CAPA closure, rebuild SOPs, restart manufacturing, and steer the site toward final FDA close-out.
