Custom Service Plans & Contracts
Full Spectrum Lab Services from CBRE has been crafting custom lab instrument service contracts for decades. We work closely with your team to develop a strategy for all of your lab’s critical and non-critical assets. One of the most important steps is to perform a comprehensive assessment of all the assets in the lab. This includes all information relative to those assets, such as; model and serial number, PM and Qualification schedule, current service contract vendor, etc. which is all stored in our Asset Management Database. This allows us to map out a thorough solution for the lab with visibility of schedules, pricing, and location of the instruments.
Service Contract Management
A large fleet of instruments is difficult enough to maintain, but it’s not uncommon for each piece of equipment to have a unique service contract attached to it. Each contract likely comes with a different service vendor, and it all adds up to more organizational responsibilities. Full Spectrum Lab Services from CBRE has the infrastructure to assist with all of this. We employ enterprise-level software, clear reporting, concise communication, expert advisors, knowledgeable service engineers, and other critical tools to create a system that drives smooth lab operations.
Equipment Repairs & PM
For critical instrumentation, a comprehensive service plan will include the cost of regularly scheduled PM visits AND the cost of parts and labor (should a repair be required). We’ve heard too many stories about lab managers being caught off guard with heavy repair expenses that blow their annual budget out of the water. Our professional lab asset management services prevent this from happening because we want to know every intimate detail of your organization. We help create classification systems for your instrumentation so we can devise custom contract solutions for each asset. Ensuring that your equipment is properly cared for and maintained is one integral part of the job, but we also want to help improve lab efficiency so you can focus on the quality of your lab’s output.
Lab Relocation Services
There are many reasons for a lab relocation, such as a lease end, a building being sold (or purchased), or a need for more space to accommodate growth. Whatever the reason, there is always one constant: lab relocation is an operational disruption. No matter how you slice it, moving causes operations to stop in some form or another. However, when lab relocation is properly planned and executed, it can alleviate a lot of downtimes.
Periodic System Qualifications
Scientific equipment qualification needs to happen at very regular intervals throughout the life of an instrument. Some highly regulated industries require a much higher frequency, along with more detailed reporting in order to stay compliant. In many cases, even small errors in output data can lead to dangerous consequences at many levels. Full Spectrum Lab Services from CBRE can provide professional IQ/OQ/PQ services as part of our lab asset management services, but we also offer these services on an as-needed, billable basis as well. Over the years, we have cultivated relationships with many lab managers, and we’ve gained a solid understanding of how many responsibilities and requirements their job title holds. Out of those responsibilities, the quality of science is always held at the highest level of importance. When you bring Full Spectrum Lab Services from CBRE on to manage your lab’s assets, you are bringing an entire team of chemists, engineers, and advisors in-house.
EOL (End-of-Life) Services for Instrumentation
Keeping track of your instrument’s life cycle is just as important as maintaining it. As the equipment spends years in your lab’s rotation, it is important to watch performance degradation in order to give a good recommendation and assessment with regard to EOL. When we’ve classified an asset as EOL, finding ways to properly dispose of, sell, or repurpose the instrument becomes a project in and of itself. If we can’t find a way to repurpose the instrument in your laboratory, the Full Spectrum Lab Services from CBRE service engineers will assess whether or not the instrument can be refurbished and sold. In the end, sometimes an instrument just needs to be properly disposed of in compliance with the EPA (which we can handle as well). Basically, our lab asset management plans cover your instruments from start to finish.
What’s the real value of outsourced lab asset management services?
The value of Full Spectrum Lab Services from CBRE’s lab asset management services will be revealed in a few different ways. Extending the longevity of your instrumentation can translate into thousands of dollars, but improvements to efficiency are hard to put a sticker price on. Allowing the leadership team to focus LESS on arduous operational items and MORE on the research can lead to growth and success.
