• Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) implementation: LIMS is a software-based solution that is used by laboratories to manage and automate their workflow processes, data management, and analysis. It provides a centralized platform for storing, managing, and sharing laboratory data, including test results, analysis reports, and quality control data. I've coordinated with my team to lead LIMS implementation in IEPL & IEFCL (laboratories. My personal contributions to the implementation of LIMS are listed below;

a. Developing and executing a plan to install, configure and

customize LIMS software within our laboratory environment.

b. Evaluating and recommending LIMS software solutions to meet

our laboratory's needs.

c. Managing data migration, testing and validating the system.

d. Training personnel in groups/individual on how to use LIMS.

e. Providing ongoing support to ensure its smooth and efficient

operation.

• Integrated Management System (IMS) Compliance: IMS is a framework used by organizations to manage and streamline business processes in a unified and integrated manner. IMS typically includes policies, procedures, and processes that cover all aspects of an organization's operations, from planning to implementation, monitoring, and improvement. I've taken lead in the review/preparation of Analytical methods and Formats manual of Water and Fertilizer labs of the Company as part of my contribution to ensure 100% compliance to IMS.
• Statistical Quality Control (SQC) Report: SQC is a set of statistical methods used to monitor and control a process to ensure that it operates within the desired specifications and meets the required quality standards. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in SQC preparation, including implementing process control methods, designing control Tables/charts to monitor and improve product quality.
• Staff Training: over the years I've carried out trainings of colleagues and new joiners to enable my team meet up to plant needs, I have carried out trainings on plant process flow, instrument operations/maintenance, analytical methods and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP).
• Instrument Maintenance: I'm dedicated to ensuring that the lab's instruments and equipment are well-maintained and in top working condition. My passion for laboratory intrument maintenance and repair has helped me acquire extensive knowledge and skills in this area. I have successfully installed, repaired and maintained laboratory instruments, such as; Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen Assembly (UDK 149), VIS Spectrophotometers (Aquamate 7000 and 8000, HACH DR3900 series), Autotitrators (KF Titrino 870, 877), Gas Chromatograph (Schimadzu GC2014 & Nexis2030, Perkin Elmer and Agilent), pH/Conductivity Meters (Orion Star 211 & 210)
