Laboratory Relocation Specialists: Success Based on Experience

Ted Palashis | February 28, 2019

Usually, lab relocations are done during a specific, prescribed time. Without a thoroughly synchronized plan based on proven processes and strong project management skills, costly mistakes in terms of time and money are inevitable. Much like the precise inner workings of a timepiece, with finely tuned gears and springs, the various moving parts of a lab relocation are centered around a list of action items and objectives. These objectives are established in the pre-move and planning stages and drive the critical decisions to be made going forward. However, just like a grain of sand can compromise even the most highly engineered watch, a delay or unforeseen issue during a lab relocation can be a costly event.

To return to your science uninterrupted, you need to determine how to move both on time and under budget, with as few disruptions as possible. With a lab relocation being one of the most costly and critical undertakings in the life of a business, attempting to absorb the burden of managing the complex, interactive tasks can quickly become a regrettable decision. In addition to your existing responsibilities, overseeing the intricacies of a lab relocation is quite a challenge. Furthermore, every relocation comes with its unique issues; however, a skilled, experienced lab relocation specialist can mitigate these problems.

Lessons learned from moving both regulated and non-regulated facilities ensure that planning, moving, and post-move services meet your specific needs and can respond to any obstacle along the way. It is critical to understand that laboratory relocation requires experienced, trained field service engineers, following proven practices and procedures to prioritize objectives, prevent snags, and act accordingly to ensure smooth operations.

A detailed project move plan should cover both the existing location and the destination site. By entrusting a skilled, experienced lab relocation specialist, you can achieve a careful, detailed plan, efficient harmonization, and proper execution, despite strict timelines and production schedules.
