Laboratory Lean Six Sigma
Today laboratories are facing greater pressure to keep up with the expanding demand to produce quality test results in a timely manner. Achieving productivity gains is mission critical. The addition of staff and/or new instruments alone will not always produce the desired results. The answers to achieving higher levels of performance can be found within your organization, if you know where to look.
The Solution
Laboratory Lean Six Sigma
Laboratory Lean Six Sigma is a proprietary methodology used to achieve tangible
performance results.
The goal of a lean six sigma laboratory is to increase quality while simultaneously
reducing employee stress, using fewer resources, and reducing turn around
time. A lean six sigma laboratory focuses on testing products and materials
to deliver results in the most efficient way in terms of cost and timing.
Laboratory Lean Six Sigma is a management and organizational process where resources used for any purpose other than the creation of value for the end customer is wasteful and a target for elimination.
Lean = eliminating the unnecessary
Six Sigma = improving the necessary
Each Laboratory Lean Six Sigma project that is carried out within an organization follows a carefully defined sequence of steps. These steps have precisely quantified benchmark goals. The overall objective is specific and customized for the unique needs and goals of your organization.
The DMAIC process provides the working framework during 5 key phases of the Laboratory Lean Six Sigma process:
>>Define: current situation and desired outcome
>>Measure: defects and current process operation
>>Analyze: data and discover causes of the problem
>>Improve: process to remove the various causes of defects
>>Control: stabilize the new improved process to ensure defects don’t recur
