About this Case Study

A newly established cannabis API manufacturer needed to rapidly design and implement a compliant Quality Management System (QMS) to secure GMP authorisation and begin commercial operations.

With limited in-house GMP expertise, the company required support in building regulatory-ready systems and preparing their facility for inspection. Rephine partnered with the client over a 12–18 month programme, delivering a tailored QMS, qualification and validation processes, and guidance on regulatory documentation. Alongside system implementation, Rephine helped upskill internal teams, laying the foundation for sustainable compliance and future audits.

Key outcomes included:

  • Development and deployment of a fit-for-purpose GMP-compliant QMS
  • Successful implementation of qualification and validation processes
  • Improved site readiness for GMP authorisation and inspection
  • Enhanced GMP knowledge and capability across internal teams
  • Reduced compliance risks through structured processes

  • How Rephine supported a new manufacturer in building compliance from the ground up
  • The QMS design and validation strategies enabling GMP readiness
  • How regulatory preparation accelerated progress towards authorisation

Result: A compliant, inspection-ready quality system supporting the company’s transition to commercial production.
