About this Case Study

This case study explores how Rephine helped a multinational fine chemicals company restore GMP compliance for API manufacturing after a devastating fire. The incident damaged the majority of the site’s production equipment and infrastructure, requiring a full validation and requalification process.

To ensure regulatory compliance and minimise supply chain disruptions, Rephine:

  • Developed a Validation Master Plan (VMP) to guide the revamp
  • Assessed all legacy systems and new installations
  • Conducted targeted upgrades and risk assessments
  • Executed qualification protocols for equipment, utilities, and cleaning
  • Implemented a phased restart strategy aligned with product priorities

Through this GxP-led approach, the plant restarted within 11 months—well ahead of industry benchmarks—ensuring supply continuity and future scalability.
