- Laboratory Platform: This platform is a vital component of the QISS LAB system, supporting laboratory staff in their tasks.
QISS LAB Platform Overview:
The QISS LAB platform automates and integrates critical laboratory processes, enhancing efficiency and accuracy. Here’s how QISS LAB contributes:
- Laboratory Order Management: This system streamlines the management of laboratory orders, ensuring that tasks are organized and tracked from start to finish.
- Equipment and Maintenance: Manages the maintenance and calibration of laboratory equipment, ensuring that all instruments are in optimal working condition.
- Process Automation: Reduces manual work by automating various laboratory processes, speeding up the workflow.
- Smooth Operations: Ensures activities are conducted smoothly, minimizing delays and errors.
- Prompt Reporting: Facilitates the prompt reporting of results, which is crucial for supporting customer satisfaction and meeting expectations.
Benefits to Laboratory Staff using QISS LAB.
- Schedule laboratory chemists and equipment based on test urgency and availability.
- Manage customer orders from entry to invoicing, with costs kept and used for billing through QuickBooks or other accounting software.
- QISS-LAB provides essential documents, including Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), ISO standards, HR policies, forms, Customer Specific Laboratory Analysis Sheets, and other documents controlled by QISS QMS. Only the current revision is provided for the current task.
- Customer Order-Specific Analysis Sheets: Laboratory Templates of the analysis of each sample with the Work Instruction information, Test Specifications, and an area for the Technician if that test meets specifications and the tests are completed. Using pre-prepared templates to generate testing requirements and data specifications ensures consistency and accuracy in your lab operations. This helps your lab staff analyze efficiently and report data into QISS LAB.
- Laboratory Technicians receive specific analysis sheet templates for each customer’s order, detailing required tests, Test Method Work Instructions, and expected specifications.
- Technicians perform tests according to approved methods and record results into QISS QMS for Management Approval of the analysis.
- Completed tests result in a Certificate of Analysis (COA) report sent to Customer Service and Scheduling. If requested, these results can be shared with your customer when available.
Benefits to Laboratory Management using QISS LAB.
- QISS LAB is integral to your laboratory operations, ensuring that all analysis data is accurately reported and managed. This centralized system helps in keeping consistency and traceability throughout the entire process.
- QISS LAB has various reports available to see what work is scheduled and what is pending.
- By capturing all this detailed information, QISS LAB helps ensure that each sample is managed according to its specific requirements, leading to more reliable results and higher customer satisfaction.
- QISS LAB is integral to your lab operations, ensuring that all analysis data is accurately reported and managed. This centralized system helps maintain consistency and traceability throughout the entire process.
- Approval of Test Results
- Test results are promptly sent to Laboratory Management for expedited approval as tests are completed.
- QISS LAB is crucial for managing the complexities of resampling and retesting when suspect lab results arise. By managing the additional scheduling, sampling, and reporting, QISS LAB ensures that these processes are efficiently managed and documented. This capability helps maintain the accuracy and reliability of your results, even when unexpected issues occur.
- After completing all tests, QISS LAB sends data to management for approval even after regular business hours. This ensures that the workflow continues smoothly without unnecessary delays, enhancing overall efficiency and helping to meet tight deadlines.
- Allowing management to approve test data or request additional work directly through QISS LAB ensures that necessary follow-up actions are clearly communicated and efficiently managed. This capability helps maintain exact standards of quality and responsiveness.
- QISS LAB allows the Laboratory Manager to send approved analysis data from anywhere—whether in the office or at home—genuinely enhancing the efficiency and responsiveness of your operations. This capability ensures timely communication, crucial for maintaining smooth workflows and meeting customer expectations.
