After the Shut Down: Back to Business as Unusual
This webinar will discuss returning to productive laboratory operations in the new normal working environment. Covid-19 has effected us all and we will address the positive impact that your asset management strategy can have on the productivity of your changing labs. We will review service, inventory, and instrument utilization considerations for both short-term and long-term planning and the effective roles and responsibilities necessary to restore labs.
You all contribute to the success of your businesses at a variety of points in operational processes. The impact of getting to market faster and more efficiently affects more than the financial bottom line. Though it has been difficult to see what normal will be through the uncertainty of the past few months, business responsibilities to patients and consumers, to employees, and to society remain paramount. Patients and consumers rely on the innovation and initiative of companies to improve their lives; companies rely on their employees to meet the societal needs of these times and of the future. The environment that you operate in has changed, but your priority outputs and the goals have not.

- Hear suggestions, tips and consideration for returning to lab operations following shutdowns or changes to regular business
- Learn how to address checklists and schedules, asset management process opportunities, and some changes that may occur
- Discover further resources allowing you to dive deeper into particular areas.
