Application of Laboratory Information Management System to Quantitative Evaluation on Quality Objectives

This article described a quantitative decomposition and intelligent evaluation system of quality objectives using a laboratory information management system (LIMS). A dynamic control platform of LIMS included the approval percentage of the first test report, timely delivery of report, percent of staff training, validity of instrument (standard substance), accordance rate of blindsample inspections, and customer satisfaction. The platform provided basis to achieve quantitative decomposition and automatic summarization of quality objectives, process quality objectives, and customer satisfaction objectives. Deviations of quality objectives were timely discovered and corrected through regular inspections, internal audit, and review management so that LIMS could be persistently improved.
