Business logistics costs $1,183 billion (9.5% of gross domestic product) in the United States in 2005.
In 2006, the cost of business logistics rose 11% over from the previous year to a record $1.305 billion.
American businesses spent a record of $1.4 trillion on logistics in 2007.
Proposal: Why LIMSProposal: Why LIMS
Laboratory Information Management System Management of samples, laboratory
users, instruments, standards, invoicing and work flow automation
LIMS Focuses Pharmaceutical Bio-technology Food and Life Sciences
LIMSLIMS
LIMS database applications that are used to store & manage information associated with the laboratory. They contain information such as:• Customers • Tests & test results• Collection sites • Bottle types• Preservatives • Sample matrix• Analysis Methods • Parameters• Employees • control limits• Passwords
LIMS also includes:
• Sample Tracking • Integrated Bar-coding
• Sophisticated Query Searching • Integrated QA/QC Functions
• Instrument Integration • Full Audit Trail
• Powerful Reporting Functionality • Enterprise System Integration

The following are a few of the Overall LIMS Advantages that the wastewater facility can realize:
Very fast report access & queries
Reduction in paperwork
Improved data quality (reduction in errors)
Improved operational efficiency
Simple to use Excel-like formulas
Increased productivity (reduction of routine tasks)
Productivity gains (instrument interfacing and auto-reporting)
Integration with other departments/business systems
Reduces transcription errors
Increases throughput
Avoids duplication
ROI (Return On Investment is typically within 1 year)

ReductionReduction in Non-Productive Hours
LIMS implementation saves approximately $300,000 per lab annually
Standardization saved companies the cost of IT and user training for multiple LIMS, estimated at up to $250 per user per year
Free up to 6.3Hrs of productive time to each LIMS user per month
