Combating Construction

INSTRUMENT RELOCATION CONCERNS AT A BIOPHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY

Challenge:

A global biopharmaceutical company was relocating laboratory operations, including instrumentation and office space, to a new building. The move required tight timelines, and lab operations were to proceed uninterrupted throughout the process. Additionally, over a third of the new space was still undergoing construction with some key lab spaces not yet completed. The company needed a partner who could develop and implement a plan quickly – all while keeping the lab running during the relocation.

Response:

  • Deploy experienced logistics and project management teams.
  • Coordinate vendors, departments and in-house staff to minimize downtime.
  • Create a phased approach and tagging system to keep instruments and workstations productive.
  • Navigate construction challenges with dynamic, collaborative solutions.

Result:

With the Pace team’s specialized laboratory experience and meticulous planning, the relocation was accomplished ahead of schedule with no significant interruptions. Efficiently managing the complexities of instrument relocation in the midst of active construction allowed the customer to continue business as usual with minimal downtime.
