Why 73% of Manufacturing Projects Fail to Meet Regulatory Standards
Resource Constraints & Expertise Gaps
U.S. businesses spend $10,000 per employee annually on regulatory compliance, yet manufacturing companies face significant workforce retirement by 2025. Your internal teams lack the specialized knowledge for complex regulated manufacturing project management consulting, creating dangerous compliance gaps.
Regulatory Compliance Complexity
70% of service organizations must demonstrate compliance to at least six different frameworks covering FDA, GMP, OSHA, and EPA standards. Manufacturing compliance represents a systematic approach to meeting regulatory requirements that form the baseline for operational legitimacy, but navigating this complexity internally drains resources and delays critical projects.

David I
Merck Animal Health installed and started up a new automated packaging line. Due to resource constraints, GMP Pros was contracted to create IOPQ protocols and execute the protocols. GMP Pros provided excellent day-to-day communications. This included status updates, specific information or direction needed and draft documents for review. Bottom Line = GMP Pros provided excellent service with very little direction. Their experience is a testament to the service they can provide.
