Inventory Workflow *(a work in progress)
April 12, 2023 243rd ACS National Meeting, San Diego, CA 20
Faculty Relations
• Total Process – From recruitment to retirement?
• Not involved in selection of candidates but act as a hub for existing activities and as the face of West Campus research operations
• Market costs and overlay big ticket items on existing and planned resources
• Constant contact before (and after) arrival
April 12, 2023 243rd ACS National Meeting, San Diego, CA 21
Vendor Relations
• Provide a common point of contact for Campus and University
• Stay abreast of market trends and new products
• Market costs and overlay big ticket items on existing/planned resources
• Organize demonstration days, symposium, site visits, etc.
April 12, 2023 243rd ACS National Meeting, San Diego, CA 22
Purchasing Collaborative
• Apply University-wide purchasing strategy
• Minimizes redundant purchases• Leverages influence (buying power)– Bundling– Coordinated capital purchases
• Offers better transparency– Only purchasing agents can buy on behalf
of University• Transform process – Very short history of WC
April 12, 2023 243rd ACS National Meeting, San Diego, CA 23
Facilities Planning
• Work directly with Architects and Builders– Conduit for end users• Get what they want
– Scientific representation• Get what they need
– Administrative representation• Get what is best

Shared Research Instrumentation
• West Campus Shared Research Instrumentation (SRI): Analytical tools or instrument-based applications that are fundamental to on-going research, highly utilized by multiple investigators, and beyond the scope of what individual research groups or Institutes could economically deploy and maintain.
• Internal funding program– FACS– NMR, GCMS, HPLC, MS, automation
April 12, 2023 243rd ACS National Meeting, San Diego, CA 28
Case study – New Jr. Faculty
• Goals– Seamless integration with Yale system– Laboratory operations on day 1
• Timeline– 1 year– Concerted finale
April 12, 2023 243rd ACS National Meeting, San Diego, CA 29
• 5 Stage process• 1 Year Timeline– Internal use– Largely independent of faculty behavior
• Many, many variables
