Build, Transition & Operate
How do we turn the required analytical capability into a working operation?
Build, Transition & Operate converts an agreed laboratory requirement or operating model into functioning analytical capability.
Client situation
When it is needed
For new laboratories, expansions, outsourced-to-internal transitions, contractor handovers, laboratory upgrades and operations requiring stabilisation after commissioning.

The work
What Sirius does
- 01
Define the operating requirement
Translate analytical demand and service requirements into laboratory capability.
- 02
Design the operating system
Develop workflow, layout, equipment, utilities, staffing and systems around the requirement.
- 03
Build or transition the capability
Coordinate facility development, equipment installation, systems and transfer of responsibility where applicable.
- 04
Recruit and prepare the team
Establish roles, competency requirements, training, procedures and accountability.
- 05
Commission the analytical process
Verify equipment, methods, workflow, quality controls and information systems.
- 06
Stabilise operations
Support early operation, identify constraints and establish reliable routines.
- 07
Operate or support operation
Remain involved in defined operational or performance-management roles where required.
