Station 02 · Test Planner

The right method, the right analyst, and a due date nobody forgets.

Test Planner turns each sample into a list of tests, each linked to a validated method, an authorised analyst and a turnaround target. Workload is visible by bench, and due dates warn before they slip.

What Test Planner does

Capabilities on this station

Method library

Methods with version, scope, units, decimal places, limits and calculation formula. Only current versions can be assigned.

IS 3025 (Part 21):2009

Authorised analysts

Analysts are assigned only to tests they are trained and authorised for. Competence records sit with the method.

Turnaround targets

TAT per test and per client agreement. Incubation and curing times are built in, so a 28-day cube is never due on day 3.

Test packages

Bundle tests into packages such as IS 10500 full, FSSAI basic or cement physical. One click applies methods, limits and price.

Due-date alerts

Analysts and section heads are alerted before a test is late. Overdue work moves to the top of every board.

Worksheets

Digital worksheets per method with raw data fields, calculations and the instruments used, ready for review.

In practice

Workload you can see before it piles up

Each bench sees its queue, in-progress work and items waiting for review. Section heads see who is overloaded and move tests in two clicks.

  • Boards by section: chemical, microbiology, mechanical, calibration
  • Load per analyst based on test time standards
  • Reassignment is logged with a reason
  • Priority flags for urgent and regulatory samples

Methods that carry their own rules

A method in Futqual knows its units, decimal places, limit of quantitation, formula and acceptance limits. Results entered against it follow those rules without a separate spreadsheet.

  • Formulas for titration, gravimetric and instrumental methods
  • LOQ handling and reporting rules
  • Specification limits by standard and client
  • Method validation and verification records

Questions

About Test Planner

Yes. A drinking water sample can have chemical tests with one analyst and microbiology with another. Each test has its own status and due date.

Futqual ships with method templates for common Indian Standards, APHA and ASTM tests. You set the version, scope and limits that your lab is accredited for.

Each analyst has a list of methods they are authorised for, with training and authorisation dates. Unauthorised analysts cannot be assigned.
