Laboratory Asset Management Assessment (LAMA)

The first step towards optimized laboratory asset management:

Do you wish someone could help with your limited capital dollars as effectively as possible?
Do you need more than a high-quality maintenance service provider?
Do you wish someone could help understand what you are spending today in maintenance?
Do you wish someone could provide you with benchmark data to understand where you should be on maintenance spend?
Do you wish someone could help you identify what the best service option is for your organization?

LAMA from GE Healthcare can!

It’s a giant step for a company to change its service model. But it’s becoming a more critical step for more companies that see outsourcing as a strategy for reducing operating costs, improving productivity, assuring compliance and supporting knowledge-based business decisions. GE Healthcare has developed Laboratory Asset Management Assessment (LAMA), a consultative service that uses the power of data to develop a proactive gap analysis between the current and the optimized state of your laboratory service program. LAMA drives resource utilization and process efficiency with confidence and purpose.

Why LAMA?

LAMA is a proactive gap analysis between the current state of your service program and your optimized state. It compares your program against industry benchmarks and best practices and evaluates your entire site by obtaining information about current expenditures, asset inventory, quality of service and more.

With this unbiased analysis of your asset management program, you get an actionable assessment to achieve optimal results throughout your site, whether you decide on a GE service program or not.

Unlike other options available to you LAMA is the best start towards achieving an optimized service model for your organization.

Traditional approaches

OEMs

Consulting Firms

RFP

Maintenance analysis

Audit, surplus inventory review and service contract review

Usually limits cost increase – rarely drives overall savings
Lack of available internal resources to manage
Focusing on equipment maintenance only (no review on current service model, operational improvements or recommendations)
Ignoring the complete asset lifecycle solution
Goal is to sell a large multivendor service contract, not a services solution

Operational/Process assessment

Skills analysis, asset care, maintenance and technical strategies – no asset inventory or contract gathering

Focus on process improvement
Acting as a guide in managing the different options (but still reliant on service providers to provide data and carry out the inventory)
Unbiased, but customer still doesn't know what the best option is
No inventory or contract analysis
Often lacks specialist domain knowledge

Specific request

List all assets in scope with request for contract pricing. Request for capability in delivering maintenance

RFP Proposals based on customer data (often inaccurate inventory and contract data with lack of understanding of the service quality – can lead to incorrect pricing and proposals)
Every OEM provides responses in a different manner and with different interpretation
May be short-term, looking at today’s needs
No partnership focus
Lack of available internal resources to manage
