Chemical Inventory
Agenda1. Defining a chemical inventory
2. A lifecycle analysis
• Conception: selecting a program
• Implementation: creating and/ or regenerating a chemical Inventory
• Optimization: maintaining and optimizing a chemical inventory
3. Betsy Parsons of Merck Research Laboratories –success story

Chemical Inventory
Stage 2: ImplementationNew Programs (1st time around)
![Page 11: The Chemical Inventory Lifecycle: Conception to Optimization](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb60f62e268c58cd5d77b2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Chemical Inventory
Stage 2: ImplementationPrograms that missed the target
(2nd around)

Chemical Inventory
Stage 2: Implementation Meet with Stakeholders
• Establish core team
• Communicate your implementation strategy
– Meetings
– Trainings
• KEEP THE LINES OF COMMUNICATION OPEN!
![Page 13: The Chemical Inventory Lifecycle: Conception to Optimization](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb60f62e268c58cd5d77b2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Chemical Inventory
Stage 2: ImplementationInitial Data Collection
• Create strategy to collect data
– Identify what is to be inventoried
– Create location guide
– Notify lab personnel
– Prepare equipment and supplies
– Create a sustainable plan to inventory new chemicals as they arrive onsite
![Page 14: The Chemical Inventory Lifecycle: Conception to Optimization](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb60f62e268c58cd5d77b2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Chemical Inventory

Chemical Inventory
Stage 3: OptimizationOnsite Chemical Management
1. Who gets access to the stock room?
2. What is the procedure for scanning chemicals in and
out of the stock room?
3. What about chemicals that scientists share?
4. Is particular training required for certain chemicals?
![Page 20: The Chemical Inventory Lifecycle: Conception to Optimization](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb60f62e268c58cd5d77b2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Chemical Inventory
Stage 3: OptimizationChemical Procurement
1. Are there restrictions on chemical purchasing?
2. Do any chemicals need approval prior to ordering?
(e.g., DHS, mercury, large quantities)
3. Is there a system that will restrict orders for
materials already onsite?
4. Restrictions on distribution?
![Page 21: The Chemical Inventory Lifecycle: Conception to Optimization](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb60f62e268c58cd5d77b2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Chemical Inventory
Stage 3: OptimizationReconciliation
1. Why?
2. How frequent?
3. How long will it take?
4. Who will do it?
