the implementation of planning strategic tool, es Production Laboratory if their managers
the BSC-Balanced Scorecard through relational choose to adopt this management tool. Finally,
performance indicators in order to facilitate this proposal will enable this lab mapping
the visualization in the simplest possible way directions in a more effective way using the
for managers based on current and institu- resources it has. By doing so, it will bring bene-

Production Laboratory. The methodology used action on strategic decision making process.
in this academic doctoral study was a case
study, which considered the survey period Development of an irradiation system
from 2008 to 2015. The main results expected for production of gaseous radioisotopes
from this study can be cited as: a better view of applied in industrial processes
the strategic plans, an additional tool in order
to support management decision making, the Among the various applications of radioiso-
ability to change the frequency of analysis topes, the use of radiotracers is considered the
and results and targets to be achieved among most important in diagnosing operation and
others. After the results that this research has troubleshooting of industrial process plants in
achieved, it can be concluded that this study chemical and petrochemical companies. The
