Our services are designed to assist companies that maintain and rely on in-house R&D and testing laboratories by improving the asset utilization, maintenance and investment return of their labs. 

Laboratory Asset Management Program

GTM's lab asset management program is designed to help managers gain control over lab operations in a short amount of time. The program includes a physical audit and photographic documentation of all laboratory capital assets. This data is used to populate an asset management program that allows for lab personnel to schedule lab equipment usage and project assignments while tracking asset maintenance schedules and activities. The program runs on any computer running a Windows operating system.

Laboratory Asset Assessments

For lab managers and R&D budget holders desiring to obtain a more informed view their lab assets, we offer services designed to provide insight into selected lab assets that can highlight issues and/or opportunities related to lab operations.

Services we provide in this area include:

• Laboratory Asset Verification Audit
• Laboratory Asset Unit Usage Analysis
• Laboratory Asset Unit Service History Assessment
• Laboratory Asset Cost-of-Ownership Analysis

Laboratory Optimization & Asset Utilization

With the increasing cost of high-end analytical instruments, understanding how the assets in your labs are used is more than just common sense – it’s good business. Mapping usage and documenting work flow can have significant value for research team leaders, lab managers and budget holders when decisions need to be made regarding new project resourcing, asset replacement and lab space allocation.

Services we provide in this area include:

• Laboratory Asset Utilization Analysis
• Laboratory Asset Work Flow Analysis
• Laboratory Asset Resource-based Needs Assessment
• Incremental Lab Asset Lease vs Buy Assessments
• Laboratory Asset Security

Laboratory Services Management

Because of the cost penalties and logistical overhead they foster, the days of contracting with OEMs for the instruments they supply are disappearing. This legacy model is being replaced by a streamlined approach in which one - or for very large labs and multi-site organizations a few - service providers are chosen via a deliberate selection process to provide service and support for equipment across a range  of modalities and brands on a contract basis, and at standardized service levels. GTM works with companies to ease the transition from legacy service models to a single-source provider, resulting in lower costs and enhanced service outcomes.

Services we provide in this area include:

• Active Service Contracts Cost Analysis
• Work Flow-based Service Requirements Analysis
• Service Level Convergence & Optimization
• Service Requirements RFP and Vendor Selection Support
• Lab Maintenance Contract Management
