thoughts on avb company direction, page-6

I would like to see maybe another lab come into play here. Either send all of our work out to someone else or even maybe split the work to two/three differant labs.

I have absolutely NO IDEA how labs work but do they (a) operate on a system whereby they (Labs) say you have the lab from the week starting Monday the ??of ?? 2011 for eight days (example) and then we just push as much product that we want assessed to them OR
(b) does the receptionist receive product at the front desk from the courier, allocate it a number and then put it on the shelf at the back of the queue.

I would suggest that it is likely (b) otherwise we would be having an price sensitive ann saying 'on week from Monday the ?? of ?? 2011 our material WILL be assessed'.

If it is (b) then no amount of 'pre-work' that we do will assist us in getting our results any quicker.

What it will do is ensure that the company that is behind us on the shelf will get their results quicker.

Also we have just paid wages to do work that isn't really cost effective or to our advantage.

Anyways...those are just my Ponderings from afar.

P.S. Great post PP, thanks
