PROGRAM'S BACKGROUND

Analytical chemistry is experiencing dramatic, turbulent change beyond control of the laboratory and laboratory management. Technological innovations, staffing demographics, new business models, automation, industry consolidation, society and regulatory expectations, and other factors are transforming nearly aspect of the business.

This program takes a strategic view of the laboratory system in the context of current quality management philosophies to determine options for achieving best practices. Experiences will be shared to provide insight into the obstacles and expected outcomes for the various approaches. Further this program includes the mission and function of the analytical enterprise along with ways to improve the quality, performance and evaluation of the laboratory.

This program is aimed at those who are managing a chemistry laboratory and want some confidence that they are approaching this in the right way. It is also a great chance for those who were given responsibility for a chemistry laboratory without having a chemistry background. Alternatively they may simply want to have an opportunity to learn what is regarded as 'best practice' in laboratory management in the modern workplace. This program should give participants the confidence to make changes to improve the operation of the laboratory and maximize its value to the organization.
