Manufacturing laboratories require high-speed production decision support while complying with regulatory standards. They can benefit from the process control, sample management, traceability, inventory management, and integration with instrumentation and third party software provided by the Core LIMS.
Lean manufacturing is supported by the Core LIMS through the systems automation of laboratory processes. The LIMS automates data collection, eliminating transcription errors and redundant manual data entry. It allows for the effective enforcement of SOPs in the laboratory to ensure compliance with GMP and other standards. The Core LIMS can automatically schedule work and assign it to analysts or instruments to reduce bottlenecks and increase the efficiency and cost effectiveness of processes.
