5 Steps in the Laboratory Relocation Process [Infographic]
Successful laboratory relocations comprise a set of complex, interactive activities that require careful planning, efficient harmonization and proper execution within strict timelines and production schedules.
A well organized and executed relocation process ensures that scientific instrumentation, laboratory equipment, and samples arrive at their destination safely and on schedule and that the new laboratory meets all compliance requirements and is able to become productive as quickly as possible. The infographic below provides a quick overview of the process. You can get a more in-depth look at laboratory relocation from our blog.
Effective communication is crucial due to the complexity and time-sensitive nature of these relocations, especially since labs must continue their research and testing during the transition.
Attention to detail is critical to avoiding costly errors and delays for lab relocation. Successful lab relocations rest on four pillars: Communication Management, Laboratory Operations, the Relocation Plan, and Move Management and Execution.
Let's explore the critical risk mitigation elements during laboratory relocations, emphasizing the value of contingency planning, customizing relocation strategies, and recognizing potential hazards.
