LABORATORY ASSET MANAGEMENT: THE CHALLENGES AND MYTHS OF CURRENT OPERATING MODELS
Lab Manager recently invited Ted Palashis to speak at their annual digital summit. In this session, Ted outlined how to develop a comprehensive, harmonized plan that is tailored to the operating profile of a laboratory, in order to provide a foundation for a comprehensive approach to how a laboratory's assets should be properly managed. In this talk, Ted helped the audience understand how to conduct a proper analysis of their lab, volumes and sample workflows, and instrumentation efficiency evaluation, in order to fully understand the “operational profile” of their lab. Ted also helped to uncover the ways that a management plan can benefit labs of all sizes, and plan out the questions to ask when selecting a system for their facility. Watch webinar ->

Aside from the laboratory’s personnel, its instrumentation is its most important tangible asset.
As laboratory operations are extremely complex and instrumentation requirement profiles constantly change, the required skills to properly manage those assets cannot be underestimated. Making the proper decisions how a laboratory’s instrumentation will be managed throughout their life cycle can determine the success of the business and whether needed drugs, products, innovation and cures get to market.
This webinar discusses the life cycle of the laboratory viewed as an arc of its maturity and the corresponding requirements to properly manage those assets.
