Abstract
A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is at the heart of modern analytical laboratories, and it supports management of sample and the associated data, automation, interface to other key systems and compliance with regulatory requirements. By enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and data integrity, a LIMS ultimately supports informed decision-making and improved overall outcomes.
Dsm-firmenich has leveraged a LIMS since decades but when the system became obsolete and not supported anymore, a project was initiated to replace it with a new, modern, global and fully validated LIMS. The presentation will provide an in-depth overview of this successful project which included the design, development and validation of the core system functionalities followed by phased rollouts across individual sites. Special attention will be given to the global harmonized approach, challenges and lessons learned during the configuration of Master Data and site rollouts. The harmonized collection of data enabled by the new LIMS has facilitated the development of effective dashboards, enhancing data accessibility and visibility.
We consider the successful implementation of this new LIMS as a foundational step towards further advancements, including the development and deployment of new functionalities to drive the continued digital transformation of our laboratories.
