Laboratories are being asked to take on additional testing volumes without adding staff or increasing their overall budget. At the same time, they are expected to maintain quality and improve service levels.

Over the past several years, many labs have been focused on cost-improvement opportunities of their top two expenses – labor and supplies. Nowadays, laboratories are looking for expert assistance in optimizing their organization in the areas of cost, efficiency, automation, performance and benchmarking.
