Really good news! In fact, all of us have to do so, and quality must be our most important issue. I in my own laboratory always remember to myself and others:
We are not to select “Cheep” between “Right” and “Cheap”; and also we are not to select “Easy” between “Right” and “Easy”. At first, we just have to try to select “Right” between “Right” and “Wrong”. Then if possible, we can try to make the “Right” be done cheaper and easier.
“If possible” means that making things being done cheaper and easier does not harm the “Rightness” of them.

I am a biochemist from government hospital in Malaysia. We had used your EZ Rules and we found it to be very helpful in strategizing the frequency of running quality control material. By calculating sigma metric for all our assay (by the way we were using Architect ci8200) we could convince the manufacturer to supply us with better performance method such as for creatinine and magnesium. After changing from jaffe and arzenazo method respectively to enzymatic method for both assay, we had reduced repeats, recalibrations and troubleshooting. We loved Architect for that.
