What is a gap assessment?

A gap assessment is a check of your Quality Management System (QMS) against the GxP’s. One or more expert consultants perform this gap assessment at your site and write a comprehensive report afterwards. A gap assessment usually lasts between one to nine days, depending on your product type(s) and the scope of the GxP gap assessment.

How does a gap assessment work?

The scope is discussed,
An offer is made for the gap assessment,
Offer accepted? PCS sends a gap assessment agenda,
Quality system documents are requested for review,
The gap assessment is conducted on-site or remote,
A report containing observations and recommendations is written,
The report is submitted to the client for review,
(optional) PCS checks the client's CAPA's and their implementation.
