Surface, Hidden, and Unplanned Costs: The Challenges of Proper Asset Management A Lab Manager Webinar

An efficient and cost-effective asset management program is crucial for sustaining operational efficiencies, mitigating risk and for start-ups, accelerating drugs to market. As these laboratories expand and their operations become increasingly complex, the challenge to sustain productivity grows. Effective lab asset management is critical, especially when laboratories evolve beyond their initial growth phases.

Laboratory decision-makers often face the daunting task of making crucial decisions amidst the daily pressures of laboratory operations. Without sufficient experience or a clear view of the future, these decisions can lead to temporary fixes with unforeseen long-term complications. These complications often introduce hidden and unplanned costs that can significantly undermine the laboratory's scientific objectives and financial health.

The upcoming webinar, "Surface, Hidden, and Unplanned Costs: The Challenges of Proper Asset Management Risk Assessment and Budgeting," is designed to address these critical issues head-on. It will provide valuable insights into the multifaceted nature of laboratory asset management, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and managing all types of costs—visible, hidden, and unexpected.
