Back to Laboratory Productivity in the New Normal: Optimizing Operations through Asset Management

As laboratory operations return to a “back to business” mode following temporary site closures and/or increased site schedule intensity surrounding recent world events, there are things that can be done to better support Asset Management processes and systems. This webinar will focus on advancing lab-wide operations by promoting visibility and simplification while optimizing operational and economical outcomes. Agilent experts will guide participants through restarting lab operations with asset management best practices.

The field of healthcare has been especially affected by current global events. Scientific research, manufacturing, and testing facilities are no exceptions. With public health in the spotlight, these and other industries are responding to unique challenges while facing reduced facility access, site closures, working from home, social distancing and irregular schedules. With safety top of mind, throughput and capacity planning require additional strategy review. Getting to market faster and more efficiently has immediate impact beyond the bottom line.

This webinar will address ways to refocus learnings from times of shut down and round the clock intensity to operate more efficiently to support the needs of patients, employees and society. While returning to the new normal of laboratory operations, best Asset Management practices can increase the efficiency of laboratory operations, saving time and money while ensuring that scientists can meet or exceed productivity goals by focusing on their science.

As operations are prepared for “back to business” following the temporary site closures and/or increased site schedule intensity surrounding current world events, there are things we can do to better support our Asset Management processes and systems.

Agilent will go through the stages of asset management. Together, we will address advancing lab-wide operations by promoting visibility and simplification with the purpose of optimizing operational and economical outcomes.

As businesses reopen and work returns to a new normal schedule, Agilent remains diligent in our focus to serve customers. Agilent CrossLab Enterprise Services support our customers’ journey to laboratory excellence by making their goals our own.

Join this webinar to learn how to simplify operations, extract more value from existing assets and expand opportunities.
