Verified assessment and requirements findings with the key stakeholders.

Developed baseline requirements and workflows.

Assessed existing Beckman LabManager LIMS.

Systems integration timing: the Epicor 9 implementation was delayed, pushing back the LIMS project.

Static data migration: methods, analyses, and specifications, as well as custom, attributes fields from the legacy LIMS did not align with the database table structure in the new LIMS.

Unique requirements definition needs: the client was well-versed in laboratory informatics systems, but needed a tailored approach to gathering the functional and user requirements related to the existing systems.

Standardize and automate CoA generation.

Optimize product grading process and thereby increase the amount of on-spec product.

Improve reporting and data sharing among multiple departments.

Increase laboratory throughput and manufacturing productivity.

Standardize the LIMS and ERP/MES across the organization.

Harmonize and optimize operations and quality processes and procedures.

to migrate legacy LIMS data, implement the new LIMS, and interface the new LIMS to Epicor 9. To standardize across sites and automate certificate of analysis (CoA) generation, the client selected Thermo Scientific™ SampleManager LIMS™ and Epicor 9 ERP/MES. Management developed a plan to increase operations productivity, quality, and speed by standardizing LIMS, ERP, and MES across the enterprise. The lack of systems integration hurt both quality and productivity.

A multisite operations analysis revealed that each used different laboratory information management systems (LIMS), enterprise resource planning systems (ERP), and manufacturing execution systems (MES). A specialty chemical company wanted to maintain its growth and market position by upgrading manufacturing assets.
