Solution
LabCost® helps you to simplify the precise recording and assessment of laboratory costs and their association with analysis and production processes. By significantly time saving, a reduction of expenses is achieved. Increased transparency within cost structure allows an ideal use of resources.
The base data for expense factors material, human resources and equipment needs to be recorded only once in order to use them later in the lab cost calculations of various analysis and production processes.Import of this data from e.g. enterprise resource planning systems facilitates the recording additionally or makes the recording additionally easier.
Common models like linear and geometric or digressive depreciation are available for equipment depreciation.Depreciation could be performed monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. The period of depreciation could be chosen between actual useful life expectancy and financial life expectancy or fiscal life expectancy.
Calculation of laboratory costs can be done repeatedly, whereby each time current costs for material, human resources and equipment are considered.In addition, a process which has been recorded already can be used in other processes as a complete module.By doing so, repeated recording of data is avoided.
In reports, the cost structure of an analysis or production process is displayed graphically and as a text report.
Reports and screen representations can flexibly be customized for users and for the requirements of the working place. Configurable logos, headers and footers of reports protect Corporate Identity.
Process and master data are saved in network capable data bases.

Functional Range
|
Process entry
Entry of the cost structure of a process (analysis or production process)
Division of process into phases, i.e. activities which are connected chronologically (e.g. preparation phase or operation phase)
Allocation of personnel used, material used and instruments used to individual phases
|
Master Data
Master data for cost factors personnel, material and instruments
Instrument depreciation costing-based or on the balance sheet, linear or geometrically digressive, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.
|
Calculation of Costs
Calculation based on resources used, depending on the number of samples to be analysed or produced.
Used Resources arise particularly from the number of samples.
Current calculations always allow for current instrument depreciation and material costs.
Cost development for increasing number of samples (collective and per sample)
Cost calculation for every detail of cost structure visible
