The business today is getting increasingly pressured to be more productive andefficient with less traditional resources. If we look at a typical production process, for instance, the levelof automation and optimization that has permeated into the production floor is quite astounding. Manyindustries have had a tremendous impact in bringing to the market the automation and optimizationsolutions to streamline -the production floor. The other ends of the spectrum are the back-officetransaction oriented processes like Inventory Management, Materials Management, Financials and soon, Therefore a lab¡¯s ability to process data quickly and its ability to disseminate that informationefficiently throughout the plant is vital for the success of the production process. Laboratory InformationManagement System (LIMS) can help in managing the information flow within the lab and can be themodus operandi of connecting the lab with the rest of the organization. For instance, imagine all theinformation that is generated in a lab. %K Automation %K optimization %K laboratory management %U http://www.ijprs.com/download.php?file=1366695405.pdf
