How we got here

BioPharm Error Prevention Associates, Inc., (BEPA)

Matt Peplowski is Principal Owner and President of BioPharm Error Prevention Associates, Inc., and a Quality Performance Consultant with over 30 years of experience in cGxP environments.

 

His career began in Manufacturing, where for 10 years, he progressed from Technician to Training Manager. He designed and delivered all aseptic operator qualification programs and other technical training before moving to QA as Training and Documentation Manager. There, he developed robust training programs for quality systems, cGMP, GDP, and more, before gravitating to Learning & Development full time.

 

Matt spent 10 years in senior L&D leadership roles at large commercial companies, and developed expertise and a passion for Human Error Prevention, change leadership, and technical writing. In 2021, Matt decided to pursue his dream of consulting, to help more firms establish best-in-class training, SOPs, and quality systems, reduce errors, and move the performance needle.

In my experience, most companies share some combination of the same challenges - too many deviations, too many documentation errors, ineffective training, wordy, non-user focused SOPs, tedious or disorganized onboarding, poor investigations and CAPA, deviation and change control closure issues, etc.  All lead to high error rates, firefighting, high turnover, resource strain, more errors and firefighting, then low morale, a blame culture and more turnover. It's a vicious cycle. Sound familiar?

Small and mid-size companies approaching late clinical or commercial phases need risk-aware employees with strong knowledge and core skills in cGMP, Data Integrity/GDP, and other quality systems, as well as robust technical training. Yet many firms lack the internal expertise or resources to establish these programs. 

Having worked in these situations for many years, including 3+ in Cell & Gene Therapy, and 5+ remediating consent decree, I've developed a playbook of practical, sustainable solutions that are aligned to the speed of your business. They will stop the vicious cycle and put you on the path from correction to prevention. It doesn't require new software, or validation, or even change control in many cases; just a small investment, and readiness to change. This makes our solutions practical, sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective.
