- True turnaround improvement requires better coordination, not only faster instruments.
- Monitoring bottlenecks across collection, transport, analysis, and validation reveals where delay really happens.
Laboratories that combine disciplined process design with well-trained teams are best positioned to deliver dependable, timely results.
