Revised Schedule M · WHO-GMP · EU-GMP · US FDA — on site and remotely

Selvinium Solutions
The principal

Twenty years inside the plant, not outside it

Layouts designed and taken through approval. Quality systems built from the apex documents down. Inspections faced from more than fifteen regulatory agencies. Budgets and investment decisions owned rather than recommended.

Background

Why the progression matters to the work

Selvinium Solutions is led by Himansu Khandhedia, M.Sc. (Chemistry), whose twenty years in the pharmaceutical industry span quality assurance and quality control, production and projects, and distribution and operations — rising from QA Officer to Site Head – Quality Assurance, Deputy and Assistant General Manager – Quality Assurance, and operational leadership at Chief Operating Officer level.

That progression matters to the work. A consultant who has only audited will write a report. A consultant who has held the licence, signed the release, and defended the decision to an inspector writes something a site can act on — because he has had to act on it himself, with the same production pressure and the same budget.

Compliance that was built five years ago does not automatically meet the standard being applied today — and the gap is usually found in the layout, the qualification file and the data, not in intent.

What clients come with

Typically one of four situations: an inspection is scheduled, an observation has landed, a new line or block is being built, or a regulatory change such as the Revised Schedule M has made the current system insufficient. In each case the need is the same — an accurate read on the gap, and a plan that can be executed with the people and the budget actually available.

How the practice is set up

The person who scopes the assignment is the person who does the work. Support is delivered at the plant, off site, or as a continuing arrangement of periodic visits with remote review between them — and wherever possible the site's own team carries out the work under guidance, so that competence stays in the building after the assignment closes.

Assurance to the client

What every client is given in writing

Confidentiality

Formulations, layouts, records and commercial information seen during an assignment are treated as confidential, and non-disclosure undertakings are signed as a matter of course.

Independence

No commission, referral or commercial interest is taken from any equipment supplier, instrument maker or vendor recommended — advice follows what the plant needs, not what a supplier is selling.

Continuity of production

Assessment and upgradation work is planned around the production schedule and sequenced so that the plant keeps running.

Your people stay in charge

Wherever possible the site’s own team carries out the work under guidance and review, so that ownership, competence and confidence remain in-house.

The first step

The most useful first step is a walk through the plant.

A single visit establishes where a site stands against the standard it will actually be judged by, what must change in the layout, the systems and the records, and in what order those changes should be made. Everything after that is a matter of sequence and execution.
