Modern technologies help labs boost efficiency and performance. Even non-experimental production labs that do routine testing can quickly identify bottlenecks and predict outcomes before making real-world changes. However, many labs still use spreadsheets or whiteboards for planning rather than using robust modeling tools available. This limits the types of simulation they can do and reduces their effectiveness.
