Speakers: Seth Heupel

Moderators: Tom Lynch CChem FRSC

Having the support of a data management solution with intrinsic flexibility enables laboratories across all industries to increase productivity and efficiency. As the largest refiner in the U.S., Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) needed a LIMS capable of centralizing the laboratory operations of multiple locations over three North American time zones. At the same time, they needed a system that could meet the unique configuration needs of each site without sacrificing upgradability. In this webinar, you’ll learn how MPC achieved a centralized enterprise deployment with Thermo ScientificTM SampleManager LIMSTM software.

We’ll demonstrate how MPC uses SampleManager LIMS software functionality like workflows and forms to automate processes and improve efficiency across all sites, enabling these multiple locations to operate as one.

Key Learning Objectives:

Learn about the importance of having a flexible data management solution to streamline your manufacturing processes
Learn how a large corporation manages workflows and system functionality across multiple sites
Learn the value of centralizing laboratory operations and how that can increase efficiency and productivity
