Quality systems rental scheme expands
Following the success of its WinLIMS Rental scheme, QSI (Quality Systems International) has made RisQ, QSI's Health and Safety compliance and Risk Assessment package available for rent.
Looking at just one WinLIMS function, automated reporting, and comparing it with the previous error-prone and time-consuming spreadsheet system, significant savings were identified.
The client's laboratory issues nearly 6000 reports a year - COA, SQC and "out-of-spec" reports to customers, plus management and instrument status reports for internal use.
Using the previous spreadsheet reporting system, each report required between 5 and 15 minutes manual intervention by laboratory staff.
The fully automatic WinLIMS reporting was shown to save over 70 man-days a year, at today's labour rates more than twice the monthly WinLIMS rental fee of only GBP265.
Other WinLIMS functions, like automatic invoicing, would yield parallel savings, not to mention those accruing indirectly from the elimination of data transcription errors and rework.
