Manufacturing endeavors and [[quality control]] have a long yet twisted history together, with standards, guidelines, best practices, and regulations all shaping how the two relate to each other. Consumer safety and higher [[Quality (business)|quality]] weren't always goals of manufacturers, but today they are vital considerations towards the final end product during a time when a single product failure could ruin a manufacturer already competing in a highly competitive environment. Maintaining compliance with standards and regulations that guide safety and quality now requires more than paper notebooks and spreadsheets, particularly when it comes to [[laboratory]] analyses associated with that compliance. Manufacturing-based laboratories are continuing to adopt [[information management]] strategies that welcome solutions such as the [[laboratory information management system]] (LIMS) into the [[workflow]] of the manufacturer and its associated labs. However, selecting the right LIMS or other [[Informatics (academic field)|informatics]] solution is not a straightforward task.

This guide broadly examines the field of manufacturing across a variety of associated industries, discussing the evolution of the manufacturing-based lab and the activities it undertakes in the pursuit of safer, higher-quality products. It will look at examples of standards and regulations that impact these labs and how laboratory informatics solutions can best be utilized to maintain compliance with those standards and regulations. It will give acquisition advice and considerations while also providing a useful user requirements document in the form of LIMSpec. By the end, the reader should have a clearer idea of the challenges that affect manufacturing-based labs and how properly acquired and implemented software solutions, like the LIMS, can have a positive impact.
