Lessons for Management

After more than a decade of development there are several key messages for the management of automated systems in the synthesis laboratory. An interdisciplinary approach is needed  

The development and application of high throughput experimentation for a given application requires an interdisciplinary mix of Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, and Computation in order to develop the chemistry, software and mechanical modules. 

In the early days of automated synthesis there was a fear amongst researchers that it would reduce the chances of serendipity. However, experience has now shown that, when used in sensible way, the, automation of the design, synthesis and test cycle can increase significantly the odds of chance discoveries of new compound that have attractive properties to the company in unforeseen ways.

Lessons learned provide valuable information for managing health and safety programs. This information addresses conditions to be avoided or recommended practices. Lessons learned typically have the potential for wide-ranging application. Effective identification of lessons learned requires an awareness of emerging practices, programs, and technologies related to hazardous waste activities [3]. 

Include the knowledge from the lessons learned in key performance indicators, expectations, and accountability for management.

The information derived from reports of transportation incidents provides an excellent outcome measurement of the performance of a company s transportation safety management program. Information about the causes of transportation incidents not only provides the basis for proper corrective actions, but also provides useful lessons for the future, which can lead to improvements in the transportation safety management system. 

Following the initial investigation, management wdl evaluate the seriousness of the incident and assess the potential it provides for lessons learned. Management must also decide as to how detailed the investigation should be. This means that a method for evaluating the seriousness of events—particularly near misses and potential incidents— has to be selected. 

Lean Safety Transforming Your Safety Culture with Lean Management takes lessons learned from Lean and applies them to the building of a world-class safety-first organization. Based on 30 years of experience with successful implementation of continuous improvement, Robert Hafey focuses the power of Lean improvement on the universal topic of safety. In doing so, he shows how Lean and safety are linked, that the achievement of one is often dependent upon achievement of the other. In this book, written for managers and executives as well as workers on the line, Hafey —... 

The big lesson for us was that the role of supply chain management goes beyond operational excellence and cost efficiencies. 

Lesson learned If senior management decisions over time result in operations in which employees must take unacceptable risks, the only effective solution is for management to recognize the results of their decisions and make the procedural revisions necessary so that the risks are acceptable. That requires a culture change.
