A Case Study in Harmonizing LIMS and ERP / MRP Systems
"The Quality Control department is integral to companies successfully meeting regulatory requirements. However QC departments need far greater numbers of analysts when they rely on paper-based data entry systems. Reliance on paper-based and manual entry systems also has huge inherent potential for typographical errors that significantly impact business costs. Links between the Laboratory Information Management System and the ERP / MRP systems are a must in order to meet the ever-growing demands for in-depth analysis, faster turnaround times and faster out of specification warnings."

Proper Timing to Develop a Support Team
With every mission-critical application there is usually a support team assembled to keep the application on-line and running as smoothly as possible. The problem is that usually this support team is not formed until late in the development project, if not after deployment. In my experience, the proper time to assemble and train the support team is during System Acceptance Testing.
