What is the importance of material management in the laboratory and your life?
Material management involves organizing, planning, and controlling the use, storage, transportation, and distribution of supplies and materials within the laboratory. It is essential to ensure the safety of workers. It also keeps track of the availability of resources that may hinder any activity, such as emergencies and research. Furthermore, it ensures my safety as a patient by filtering expired products and providing those materials needed for my treatment are available at any time. Therefore it is of utmost importance as it saves time, reduces waste, and increases work output.
