I admit, this is a product presentation. But I promise you content! No bla bla. So happy reading... Today, Quality Control labs have to be lean labs. While coping with complexity and volatile demand, QC labs are constantly asked to increase analyst and asset utilization, improve right-first-time and decrease lead times. Binocs resource planning helps to create an optimal flow of QC lab activities by constantly balancing demand and human resource capacity.

it.”
Team flexing

when?”
Do the right things
- “Which improvement projects should I start first?”
Collaborate
- “Supply chain asks me for service levels. I have no idea If I can meet their
requirements.”
Business planning

minimal result.”
