    How to:

    • Planning

      • Export Control: Can this inventory be exported from the US to the target country? If not what is the "work around"?
      • How are we going to ship?
        • Vendor dropship
          • Can they do it?
          • Have they shipped to this country before?
          • What is their planned route? Air/sea/truck/combination?
          • Remember, many times we understand the implications of shipping to a particular place better than they do
        • Adcom or other logistics company shipping
          • Expected lead time?
          • Cost?
          • Size and weight restrictions to that country?
          • Route? Air/sea/truck/combination?
      • Duty and Import
        • What entity is importing?
        • Do they have or can they figure out a way to get duty-free import (usually $100K in savings)
      • Utility Considerations
        • Electrical Specs (110V/220V/440V 50Hz/60Hz Single or Three Phase)
        • Water Quality and temperature (used to determine the need for a chiller and filtration system with the Waterjet)
        • Lighting: If there's a lack of natural light will there be enough lighting for safe lab operation?
        • Ventilation
          • How will the laser cutters be vented? Where will those vents exhaust to?
          • Welding: Do we need a trunk?
          • Molding and Casting: Can't be an enclosed space
          • In the case of a biolab: Is a laminar flow hood needed? What is the "natural ventilation" like in the selected space?
      • Layout
        • Work together on a lab layout to help determine space, utility needs, renovation needs
      • Machines
        • Goals of the lab and who will be its primary users?
        • What will the lab included? (Balance of budget and wishlist)
        • Will all purchases be made at once or will it be a multi-phase purchase/deployment? If multi-phase determine the priorities and purchasing order.
    • Purchasing

    • Deployment

    • Installation

    • Operation

      • Gitlab
        • Documenting users, training, spaces, tools
        • Repos to document project work
      • Each Machine should have an owner who is responsible for learning that machine, training others, performing maintenance and overseeing necessary repairs.
      • Machine Maintenance is absolutely necessary. Creating a schedule in Gitlab can help to ensure this is being done regularly. The are high level, precise machines that don't like to sit idle or not be maintained.
