Topics
Order Logistics
• 3 separate sites, 3 individual POs
• 240 bottles total (80 per site), packed in 10-packs (8 packs/site)
• POs expected Tuesday next week, ideally sent in one email
• Normal lead time (~15 business days) is sufficient
• Same lot number for entire order
• Andrew to flag for follow-up late this week/early next
UTAK's Improved Efficiency
• Lead time reduced from ~2 months to ~15 business days
• Orders now in production within 24 hours of entry
• Challenge: coordinating multi-site orders to prevent partial fulfillment
Customer Satisfaction
• Ernestine rates UTAK 10/10
• Appreciates easy contact, quoting process, packaging
• Most valuable aspect: obtaining custom QC products
• No specific metrics beyond QC pass/fail
Department Details
• Ernestine's department: Chemistry (uses only this UTAK QC)
• Toxicology department (Don Francisco) uses more UTAK products
• Chemistry has automation lines, but current vials suffice
Future Planning
• No new testing/methods planned for next quarter
• Uncertain about changes in the next year
• No immediate need for automation-specific vials
Next Steps
• Ernestine to coordinate with purchasing for 3 POs, ideally in one email
• Andrew to monitor for PO arrival (expected Tuesday)
• Andrew to confirm order receipt and processing via email
• UTAK to ensure single lot manufacturing for entire order
