2.1.1 Computerized Inventory Management System
According to Thomas M. McHugh (2011) computerized inventory management systems provide many benefits that are hard to obtain using paper methods or an in-house spreadsheet. Systems that are specific to the lab can be used relatively quickly without a significant learning curve or system customization. The ability to analyze the inventory, item usage, purchasing history, and other areas (e.g., lot numbers, equipment) are important improvements to spreadsheets and paper systems. If the system includes equipment tracking, it can be used to determine the capital asset as well as track the service history and lifespan of equipment. The ability to streamline and automate many of the inventory control tasks will be increasingly important to reduce hands-on time while improving the analysis of trends, reducing stock-outs, and avoiding expiring reagents. The ability to ensure that the right reagent in the right quantity is present at the right time is critical to laboratory operations. Given that reagents are approximately one-half of most labs' operating budgets, a continued focus on this expense will assist the laboratory in continuing to provide accurate and timely laboratory testing at the lowest cost. 2.1.2 Log in Security System
According to Dan Brian (2011) a lot of the websites we visit nowadays are testing and requiring that we create so-called "strong" passwords. Unfortunately, it is not a practice that every site accommodates, whether because it has not update, edits code to meet these most recent standards, or simply because it lacks the resources to do so. It is then up to the user to create its own personal "Security Best Practices" as to facilitate the management of these identities, starting with the creation of easy-to-remember, yet strong enough passwords. It is paramount, then, to consider not only making all our passwords
