Consultancy for Developing Laboratory Information Management System for PRAN Quality Control Laboratory
Project Overview
Provided expert consultancy to design, develop, and integrate a comprehensive Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) for the PRAN Quality Control laboratory. This initiative focused on the digital integration of laboratory infrastructure, transitioning the facility from manual workflows to a fully automated digital ecosystem to enhance data integrity, operational efficiency, and traceability across the testing lifecycle.
Requirements Analysis & Digital Strategy: Conducted comprehensive diagnostics of existing laboratory workflows to define functional requirements, identify process bottlenecks, and map digital integration pathways.
System Architecture & Workflow Digitization: Designed a scalable LIMS architecture tailored to automate sample tracking, inventory management, and complex analytical workflows.
Quality & Compliance Alignment: Ensured the LIMS design mapped seamlessly to ISO/IEC 17025 standards and international food safety requirements, embedding quality control checkpoints into the digital framework.
Implementation & Vendor Oversight: Guided the deployment phases, providing technical oversight to ensure the software development aligned with the laboratory's specific scientific and operational needs.
Capacity Building & Documentation: Developed targeted digital transition documentation and delivered training to ensure seamless user adoption of the new system.
Key Outcomes
- Implemented end-to-end digital tracking of samples from receipt to final test report generation, significantly reducing turnaround times and tracking blind spots.
- Minimized manual data entry errors and data silos through structured digital workflows and automated calculation matrices.
- Embedded ISO/IEC 17025 operational requirements directly into the system, featuring audit prerequisite and electronic signatures.
- Enabled real-time data visibility and dynamic reporting capabilities in manufacturing quality control.
- Streamlined the management of materials and reagent inventory through the system.
