How to control a company’s inspection costs

Reduce waste of reagents and chemicals； Take good care of all the instruments in the laboratory; handle them gently ； Use instruments as little as possible for tasks that can be checked manually (within the margin of error) ；

1. Reduce the frequency of sending instruments from external units for testing; at present we conduct tests on a regular basis, but sometimes we forget to do so. 2. For some energy sources such as coal, we are responsible for selecting the coal gangue ourselves, while the test reports are provided by the supplier. 3. For items like electronic scales, we arrange for our own staff to carry out calibration, as this is relevant to our ability to sell them. 4. As for pressure gauges, we generally only calibrate those that are critical; for the rest, we simply replace them

1. The use of reagents and other consumables should be carried out strictly in accordance with the plan to prevent waste. 2. Prepare a smaller amount of indicators at a time and prepare more only after they are used up; this approach is especially appropriate for those indicators that are used in small quantities and are prone to deterioration. 3. Use various instruments strictly in accordance with the operating procedures to extend their service life. Employees are encouraged to learn more* and maintain the instruments on their own. If one is able to repair the instruments themselves, maintenance costs can be saved. 4. Improve the skills of analysts, and try to avoid sending samples outside for testing

Control the number of tests/Use reagents reasonably/Improve staff competence

1. Negotiate the analysis frequency with the production workshop. 2. Improve the competence of analysts to minimize unnecessary analyses (although necessary training is unavoidable). 3. Properly control the grade of reagents used according to the different requirements of analysis; if ACR can be used, then GR should not be used, as there is a significant price difference between reagents of different grades. 4. Try to buy high-quality glassware; otherwise, those cheap but low-quality items will force you to make repeated investments. 5. The choice of large-scale analytical instruments should be determined based on the analysis requirements and frequency required. It is not necessary to purchase imported instruments; some domestic ones can meet your analysis needs. 6. Find clever ways to deal with various inspection fees; for example, the Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau assigns tasks to its subordinate departments, and these departments can only pass on those costs to individual companies, so you can’t let them demand exorbitant amounts.

In fact, the key to controlling inspection costs lies in formulating a detailed work plan and having highly qualified personnel

1. When making samples, one needs to stay focused; otherwise, one will be thinking about trivial things like \"there’s not enough for everyone\" or \"too many wolves and not enough meat\", or things like there being so many single people. . . Including me), we tend to break things easily. 2. Instruments and other glassware should be maintained regularly, which can **reduce many malfunctions. The way you treat the instruments determines how they will treat you, especially when there are many of them. 3. Another factor is medications; some drugs cannot be used in certain laboratories, resulting in abnormal test results. Therefore, it is important to choose a reputable manufacturer of reagents.

1. Avoid wasting reagents. 2. Have a passion for instruments and carry out regular maintenance of testing equipment to extend its lifespan. 3. Maintain stability in the staff team, as training new employees incurs significant costs

The laboratory department receives the least funding in the entire factory, so there’s not much that can be saved there. Besides, the more you use it, the more you can claim as expenses – which is good for the laboratory. It’s impossible to save money on laboratory costs; it’s better to let the process department earn some money instead
