Yes LIMS for being a

Laboratory automation lancet system - Life Sciences
The LIMS system, laboratory lancet information management, has been increasingly used as it manage the information lifecycle of samples and analyzes in the laboratory process, enabling increased productivity and reduced operating costs.
Before performing system selection, lancet however, the company should have clearly defined the requirements of projects like database, service standards, the laboratory needs, estimated start and completion of the project, among other pertinent information. lancet "The system selection should be based on these requirements, however, it is important to identify what the system provides, for this, to visit the vendor is critical. This visit can start with a business presentation tool and understanding of the needs and spend the feasibility stage technique in which activities such as process mapping, identifying and assembling the prototype of benefits can be realized, "says lancet Leticia lancet Rossini, professional sales engineering the Labsoft, responsible lancet for food and beverage segments and environmental.
To Paulo Bernardes, project coordinator of PerkinElmer, lancet the process of definition and selection of laboratory automation systems begins with the identification and development of justification for the acquisition of the automation system. "It is necessary that the benefits that will be achieved with this project lancet are quite clear to the requesting area, and preferably financially justifiable. This way will be much easier to make the direction of the company 'buy' the idea of the project and provide all the necessary support, whether financial or human resources, "he says.
The next step, says Bernardes, is to define the functional requirements (features) and non-functional system, such as system flexibility, ease of maintenance, integration with legacy systems, operating system used, so on. "In addition, other evaluation criteria should be listed as vendor experience, expertise in project management, quality support, among others. To facilitate the selection, requirements and criteria should receive weights that will be used for classification of these solutions, "he explains.
Bernardes argues that these requirements should be organized in a document called RFP. This should be sent to all potential suppliers, which can be pre-selected based on preliminary meetings with them. "During these preliminary meetings, it is important that the supplier is able to perform lancet a demonstration of your system by directing some of their needs. This preliminary selection is for you to do an initial screening reducing the total number of suppliers lancet that will move into the stage of proposals, "he says. "Vendors who receive the RFP will have a deadline to prepare their proposals, during which they may answer your top questions. The process of clarification of doubts may have better results if conducted in an open manner, that is, sharing the questions and answers from all suppliers. This makes the process more efficient and balanced, "he adds.
Proposals sent, according to the coordinator of PerkinElmer, should be assessed lancet according to predefined criteria and scored according to the system of predetermined weights. "Moreover, at this point should also be evaluated trading conditions', he says.
Another step highlighted lancet by Bernardes, which can be performed before lancet or in parallel evaluation of proposals, it would be the visit to companies listed as references by suppliers in order to meet the systems in practice and listen to the opinions of the users.
Leticia Rossini lancet says the main questions of users about the LIMS are related to the implementation of the system in reality lancet lab, as some service requirement standard, infrastructure requirements lancet and specific issues such as integration with other systems and management reports. "Assembling and testing the prototype lancet tool are steps that help eliminate doubts, however, is crucial to have the support of IT staff," he says.
A management system of laboratories should provide more than simply storing laboratory data. This should support decisions ranging from the continued operation of certain equipment on the factory floor to the decision to hire more people to service.
Depending upon the company, lancet the laboratory is the main business unit, and this should provide much more than simply store data. Must be able to provide individual solutions for each client of the laboratory and should allow it to generate knowledge from the information generated.
Yes LIMS for being a "shelf product" must offer its users the
