Agile Business Process Management in Research Projects of Life Sciences

In life science laboratories the sub-process automation of methods with semi- or full automated, isolated solutions called islands of automation and several IT sys tems dominate. There are deficits in networking of these sub-processes. The RD they use heterogeneous resources, and com bi ne automated, semi-automated, and manual activities in high-variable process chains with a high number of control structures. This characteristic of LSA-processes makes high demands on an integrated process management that contains an interdisciplinary collaborative process control and the documentation of the global process from for example purchasing, sample storage, method development to analytics and interpretation of results as well as the extraction of knowledge.
