A pre-audit dossier joins every data source PharmaDB carries about a single plant in one view. Inspection cycles (multi-regulator), observation pattern by 21 CFR category, active enforcement events, environmental clearances, capability codes, and DMF references. The Aurobindo Pharma Medchal example below carries 6 FDA inspection cycles plus 2 EU GMP renewals, 25 cumulative observations across the cycle, and no active enforcement. The full dossier surfaces in under a minute.

Citation-anchored one-page dossier with the qualification recommendation tier. Useful before any onsite audit or RFQ.

Why a buyer or audit team runs it

One page, every signal.

All sources in one view.

Inspections, observations, enforcement, environmental clearances, capabilities, and DMFs are pre-joined. The dossier is the union of every signal PharmaDB carries about the plant.

Trajectory chip per plant.

Improving, flat, or deteriorating across the last five inspection cycles. Sets the audit-team posture: routine, focused, or hostile.

Capability and clearance overlay.

What the plant can manufacture (sterile, controlled substance, biotech) and what environmental clearances are active. Two signals usually missing from FDA-only dossiers.

Citation anchors per row.

Every dossier row links to the source record. The auditor can drill into any signal without leaving the brief.

Aurobindo Pharma Medchal is a qualifiable plant on the dossier basis. Eight FDA inspection cycles produced 25 observations with a trajectory chip of improving across the last three cycles. No active enforcement. Three valid environmental clearances on the MoEFCC India register, all current to 2027. Twelve active Type II DMFs filed including recent 2025 entries. Capability footprint covers oral solid, sterile injectable, and controlled-substance handling. Recommendation: routine onsite audit with focus on equipment and cleaning controls (the two rising observation categories).

The pre-audit dossier is the union view per plant. PharmaDB joins every data source it carries about a plant (inspections, enforcement, capabilities, clearances, DMFs, trade) at the plant entity. The view is the canonical plants row with every related table joined. Refresh cadence is weekly for the headline signals.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What is a pre-audit dossier?+

A one-page (or single-query) view of every compliance, quality, capability, and environmental signal about a specific plant. The pack a buyer or audit team carries into an onsite visit, or that a procurement team reviews before issuing an RFQ. It is the union of every PharmaDB data source resolved to the same plant entity.

Which plants are covered?+

Every plant in the catalog has a dossier surface. Coverage depth varies by jurisdiction: India and the US are deepest (multi-regulator inspection plus environmental plus capability plus DMF); China, Korea, and Indonesia are well-covered on inspection and DMF; long-tail jurisdictions vary by signal availability.

How fresh is the dossier?+

Inspections refresh weekly. Compliance events refresh weekly. Environmental clearances refresh quarterly. Capability codes refresh on plant-registration update. The dossier carries an as-of timestamp per section.

Does the dossier surface a qualification recommendation?+

Yes. Recommendation tier is one of block, watch, qualifiable-with-conditions, or qualifiable-clean. Computed from inspection trajectory, active enforcement, observation pattern, and environmental clearance status. The tier is advisory; the final decision is the buyer's.

Can I export the dossier?+

Yes. The dossier exports as a PDF citation pack with every row anchored to its source record. Useful for audit-program documentation and supplier-qualification files.

What about plant capabilities like sterile or controlled-substance?+

The capability code overlay surfaces what the plant can manufacture: sterile, controlled-substance, biologic, oncology, high-potency. Two signals usually missing from FDA-only dossiers. Useful for matching a portfolio molecule to the right plant infrastructure.
