• We don’t have any laboratory facilities but we just need supportive tests to be performed using our product for marketing purposes.
• We need a peak shaving institute who can handle seasonal quality control measurements.
• There is a mismatch between these routine based measurements and our highly skilled staff.
• Company X will transfer their equipment to a laboratory to let them do the measurements for them.
• Starting of next month we foresee temporary increased laboratory activities. Can we solve this by a contractor?
• We need additional skilled staff in our laboratory to be able to deliver a project’s milestone in time.
• We do have a lot of different measuring instruments around but we can hardly keep those in proper shape. Can you please find a laboratory who can do this job for us, admin included?
• Although these measurements are quite important for us, they hardly add any value to our business. Therefore we need a laboratory, which can do these measurements for us.
• We have a rather unique piece of equipment available in-house, which we want to commercialize because of its underrecovery. However we want to do this in a controlled and confident way. If we can find an independent reliable intermediary who can cope with this, then our advantages are obvious:
• we only have to deal with one laboratory
• our return on invested capital for this machine is increased
• we don't have to bother about equipment maintenance
• our intermediary is the focal point for companies, who are interested to have measurements done on our equipment
• Our management argues that the overall costs of our research activities are too high. Can we have part of it done cheaper elsewhere without giving up our quality?
