Course Outline
Managing Operations and Processes
-
Laboratory managers need to understand what the laboratory is trying to achieve. This means developing a clear vision of how the laboratory should help the organisation to achieve its long-term goals. It includes translating the organisation’s goals into implications for the laboratory’s performance objectives, which are quality, speed, dependability, flexibility and cost. This chapter provides a critical understanding of laboratory operations and processes, contextualising these within a laboratory's business strategy, to realise performance objectives.
