Abstract
Many cost reduction strategies and methods have been employed in most academic institution laboratories. The economic instability strained organization to adjust and readjust processes, which, indirectly affect institution’s research findings reliability. Hence, placed the institution in a difficult situation to produce a world-class paper publications. Having this in mind, this project started in year 2015 with aims to reduce expenditure on laboratory equipment calibration by setting up an in-house calibration laboratory, as well as to promote an awareness to researchers on the importance of equipment calibration towards their research output. This study is greatly influenced by national economic impact and researchers’ priorities, hence, small scale data collection was conducted at the University Malaya’s largest faculty, Faculty of Medicine. At the end of this study, it was observed fairly reasonable results, where it shows an increase in the good maintenance practice awareness and the calibration turnaround time was shorten. The biggest achievement was the equipment calibration expenditure was slashed three times lower. This project currently is still on going with hopes to expand the services of the newly setup calibration laboratory to the whole campus and at the same time to provide a highest degree of confidence to institution researchers, and that the measurements and data are reliable and trustworthy. And most of all, results obtained from calibrated instruments are validated and accepted worldwide.
