From Backlog
to Breakthrough.
Bodhee Quality Control Scheduling rebuilds the lab plan from first principles every cycle — with analyst competency, instrument capability, method hold times, and upstream production events treated as a single model. So release dates hold.
The lab is the bottleneck nobody is budgeting for.
Figures are directional industry benchmarks — not Neewee customer outcomes.
QC scheduling is broken in four specific ways.
Labs run on spreadsheets, whiteboards, and tribal knowledge. The schedule is built weekly, patched daily, and invalidated hourly.
Spreadsheet-native, event-blind
The weekly queue is built in Excel on Monday. Nobody rebuilds it when Production moves on Tuesday.
Analyst & instrument capability not modelled
Skill matrices sit in HR. Instrument calibration sits in LIMS. Neither touches the schedule.
Method hold times treated as soft targets
IPC and stability pulls have tight windows. A static queue cannot honour them when priorities shift.
Disconnected from upstream production
When a batch finishes 4 hours early or late, the QC queue has no way to know until an analyst chases it manually and rebuilds the plan.
Rebuild the lab plan from scratch — every cycle.
Constraint-aware.
Analyst competency, instrument capability, method hold times, and batch priority — modelled as hard constraints the engine must satisfy.
Natively integrated.
Events from Bodhee Production Scheduling trigger QC rescheduling within minutes. The batch didn't move — the plan moved with it.
Rebuilt, not patched.
Every cycle — shift, day, week — the engine rebuilds the optimal plan. Not a drag-and-drop repair of yesterday's queue.
What Bodhee QC Scheduling does.

What Bodhee QC Scheduling delivers.
Ranges observed across regulated QC deployments. Outcomes vary by lab scale and integration scope.
Batch release cycle time
faster release decisions across active lab queues
Analyst utilisation
with analyst and instrument constraints honoured together
Reschedule cycle time
after OOS events, rush samples, and queue changes
Method hold-time adherence
for tighter control of time-sensitive samples
Based on Neewee deployment observations in regulated QC environments.
Inputs → Engine → Outputs.
Bodhee connects into your existing stack, runs the optimisation, and publishes schedules and events back out.
Source systems feeding the engine.
- LIMS
- Chromatography Data System CDS
- MES / Batch events
- Analyst HRMS / LMS
- Instrument calibration
- QMS deviations, OOS
- Bodhee Production events
Five internal capabilities.
- Sample-method-analyst matching
- Hold-time constraint modelling
- Priority & due-date optimisation
- Event-driven rescheduling
- Batch release forecasting
What Bodhee publishes back.
- Daily analyst schedules
- Instrument utilisation plan
- Batch release forecast
- IPC pull-time schedule
- Events → Bodhee Production
Four roles in the QC lab — each with a specific reason.
QC Analyst / Supervisor
A live queue, re-ranked against today's reality. Hold-time risks surfaced before they become OOS.
Head of Quality
A release forecast that moves in minutes, not days. Cycle time compresses 20–35%.
QA & Regulatory
Every scheduling decision traced to its trigger event. Audit trail native, not retrofitted.
Digital / IT Leaders
API-first integration with validated connectors for major LIMS and CDS platforms. GxP-ready.
Three phases to a live lab plan.
Assess
Lab maturity assessment. LIMS/CDS landscape review. Sample-type inventory and constraint catalogue.
Configure
Analyst skill matrix, instrument capability, method hold-times, integrations with LIMS / CDS / MES / Bodhee Production.
Go Live
Parallel run against the existing queue. Calibrate. Cut over by lab area. Ongoing tuning with the QC team.
Three reasons this isn't a LIMS module.
Native integration with upstream production.
The only QC scheduler designed from day one to consume production events as first-class inputs — not a downstream reporting bolt-on.
Rebuilt from scratch every cycle.
Constraint programming finds the optimal queue — instead of drag-and-drop repair of yesterday's whiteboard.
GxP-ready, LIMS-agnostic.
Deployed against Veeva, LabWare, Thermo SampleManager, Labvantage — without forcing a rip-and-replace.
Release faster. Without shortening the science.
