Agilent helps agencies relocate, right-size, and continually improve operations
What began as a daunting relocation and rightsizing effort for the UK Environment Agency quickly transformed
into an opportunity to not only assess its entire instrument base but implement an ongoing, data-driven method
to continually improve laboratory operations.
The right-sizing challenge
A challenging government mandate required the agency to reduce its footprint from three facilities to only two.
The agency already had a strong rapport with Agilent, thanks to years of responsive care, so it naturally
sought the company’s help to manage this difficult relocation challenge. Taking time to truly understand the
situation, trusted advisors from Agilent CrossLab Enterprise Services provided the agency with essential
guidance, combining several enterprise capabilities into a single, well-planned services solution that included:
-
Digital laboratory analytics to assess which instruments to relocate, remove, or sell
-
Financial flexibility to sell instruments back to Agilent, using the funds to finance
-
Relocation services to decommission, remove, or recommission instruments
Successfully implemented, this solution improved both the financial position and scientific capabilities in the
labs.
