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.
