Appointment and resource planning

The appointment and resource planning in iLIMS creates clarity and reliability in everyday laboratory operations. Incoming orders, samples, and analyses are not only recorded but also planned in terms of time and capacity – according to priority, turnaround times, equipment availability, and personnel responsibilities. This way, appointments are realistically kept, bottlenecks are identified early, and resources are optimally utilized.

Appointment Logic and Deadline Management

Appointments are system-secured and transparent at all times

  • Desired, fixed, target, and due dates per order/sample/analysis

  • Automatic appointment calculation from SLA, standard, or laboratory standard

  • Matrix/method-dependent standard turnaround times including buffer for transport/preparation/external steps

  • Live deadline monitoring with early warnings of impending delays

Priorities and Urgent Case Handling

Important tasks are automatically prioritized first – without planning chaos

  • Freely definable priority levels (routine, urgent order, stop/quarantine 
)

  • Priority controls work sequence, resource allocation, and dashboards

  • Escalation notes in case of conflicts/competing urgent orders

Resource Model and Capacity Planning

Planning is based on real capacities and qualifications

  • Laboratory areas, workstations, equipment groups, and personnel as real planning resources

  • Method/parameter assignment to devices and qualified personnel

  • Competence/role reference as well as device status (available/maintenance/blocked) are included in the planning

Capacity-Based Worklists, Routines, and KPIs

Operational processing, regular operation, and optimization seamlessly interconnect

  • Worklists automatically sorted by date, priority, and capacity

  • Batch/series capability for optimal equipment utilization, quick rescheduling in case of bottlenecks

  • Time-controlled routines (monitoring/series inspections) with automatic creation by interval

  • Dashboards and KPIs on utilization, lead times, deadline adherence, and backlog
Why iLIMS?

Because every laboratory is different.

iLIMS is freely configurable and is composed differently depending on the type of laboratory (contract, operational, research, or industry solution). The scheduling and resource planning is therefore a cohesive functional block made up of a basic module and optional extensions.

  • Customization possible through training

    instead of feature only via ticket

  • Local data storage or hybrid in the cloud

    instead of cloud obligation

  • Modules can be sensibly combined

    instead of fixed functionality

  • Direct support

    instead of long waiting times with other providers
