Achieving Success in Chemical Manufacturing: How a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) Ensures Flexibility in the Lab

摘要

Chemical manufacturing companies today must be more adaptable than ever. This is especially true in the production of fine and specialty chemicals, where some manufacturers change over production lines weekly or even daily. Within these highly flexible manufacturing environments, the laboratories that ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of chemical products must be equally flexible. This is no easy task due to stringent controls on the composition and quality of finished product. This article examines how a laboratory information management system (LIMS) can enable chemical manufacturing labs, and external labs serving the industry, to be more adaptable to revenue-generating opportunity without compromising quality
