Engineering laboratories are essential environments where theoretical engineering knowledge is translated into practical skills. However, many higher education institutions struggle with inconsistent laboratory documentation, equipment maintenance challenges, safety issues, and inefficient inventory management. A structured Laboratory Management System (LMS) can address these issues by providing standardized procedures, documentation practices, and quality control mechanisms. This study proposes a comprehensive LMS framework specifically designed for engineering institutions. The research integrates documentation management, equipment lifecycle control, consumable inventory systems, safety management practices, and digital laboratory management tools. The proposed framework also aligns with international quality practices and accreditation expectations such as ISO-based quality systems and outcome-based education frameworks. The findings suggest that implementing a structured LMS significantly improves laboratory efficiency, safety compliance, equipment utilization, and student practical management. The paper contributes a practical model that institutions can adopt to improve laboratory governance and academic quality.
