LEAN IN LABORATORIES - May 2024

DESCRIPTION DU PROGRAMME

This is a Virtual Live Consultant-led Education Program.
Pharmaceuticals, Human and Animal Healthcare, Bio-tech environments, Cosmetics, Chemicals, Food industries, R&D…

The Lean Laboratory certificate program is a 5-day fully accredited program designed to start you on the path to continuous improvement in your lab! Learn how to manage flows and eliminate backlogs, rework, and other inefficiencies while improving service to production, supply chain and customers and increasing employee satisfaction.

Why is Lean important in lab environments?

Because a laboratory is involved at each step of the Value Stream — incoming materials and goods, work-in-process, and semi-finished and finished products — delays and errors have a negative impact on the entire organization. Therefore, speed, reliability, and quality, i.e., lab efficiency, directly impact overall organizational efficiency, as well as costs and the ability to meet customer demand.

Furthermore, specialized skills needed in the laboratory make it especially devastating for the organization when individual technicians leave due to an inefficient stressful process and environment.

Applying Lean in a lab environment helps alleviate inefficiencies by:

• Improving end-to-end processes (Value Streams)
• Underscoring demand and its variability
• Scheduling analysis flows based on demand
• Defining resources required
• Creating and sharing standards to reduce rework

While

• Creating a working environment based on trust, empowerment, and teamwork
• Upskilling through cross-training
• Developing problem-solving skills

The Lean Lab concepts apply to all laboratories, including Production Labs, Quality Control, Quality Assurance, and R&D.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

Discover how Lean can help:

• Continuously improve customer satisfaction by improving quality at the source and reducing lead time for your customers
• Systemically and repeatedly identify process inefficiencies so they can be reviewed and eliminated
• Eliminate back-logs and failure demand – the work created when an activity is not carried out correctly the first time
• Level the analysis flows to respond to incoming demand
• Reduce absenteeism and turnover by creating more value-added work
• Make processes visible so everyone can monitor daily progress to achieve improvement goals
• Increase process capacity so more value-adding work can be performed with existing resources

BENEFITS OF ATTENDING

You will understand how these principles apply to your laboratory processes and how you can develop your “leadership legacy” through the implementation of these Lean approaches.

Upon completing this 5-day program, you will be awarded the Lean Laboratory Improvement Certificate.
