How Quality Control Laboratory works in SkillScorer
Score
Each team member in a department is scored on the Quality Control Laboratory skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank team members, compare two side by side, or compare your departments against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Quality Control Laboratory skills need attention. Reports also follow each team leader's department.
Quality Control Laboratory scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Quality Control Laboratory scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Quality Control Laboratory scorecard covers 12 skills: Analytical Method Execution, Instrument Operation and Calibration, Good Laboratory Practice, Data Integrity, Out-of-Specification Investigation, Sample Management and Chain of Custody, Microbiological Testing, Reference Standards and Reagents, Laboratory Safety, Reporting and Review, Method Validation Support and Attention to Detail. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are team members scored in Quality Control Laboratory?
Every team member is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one department and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Quality Control Laboratory?
Quality Control Laboratory starts with these levels (called “Seniority Level” in the app): Graduate, Technician, Scientist, Senior Scientist, Team Leader and Manager. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Quality Control Laboratory skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In pharmaceutical & life sciences the app talks about team members, departments and team leaders, and you can change any of those words too.
