Bundle: Lean Operational Efficiency

This course will prepare the learner with the skill to achieve processes that demonstrate operational efficiency in the laboratory. In this series, the learner will learn how to plan, conduct and execute a Kaizen event with our team for a specified period of time. We will use the methodology and tools of Lean to develop all steps of a process and brainstorm a current state design or an illustration of the way the process looks today. Once the current state process is complete, we will identify inefficiency and bottlenecks embedded within that process considered waste. Through a structured team approach to brainstorming noted as opportunities for improvement, we will understand how to reduce laboratory process inefficiency by the elimination of waste, process problems or bottlenecks. The learner will understand how to redesign an improved future state through a team approach to continuous improvement and learn how to eliminate or resolve the deficiencies by the use the scientific method of problem solving.
