STUDY ON "20 YEARS OF LEAN LAB"
The special feature of Geniu
From a single source: training and advice
In an innovative model, we combine the advantages of further training and management consultancy with a focus on laboratories.
We share with you our knowledge from over 15 years of experience in optimizing laboratories. This knowledge enables you to master the challenges in your laboratory together with your own project team and our support independently and, above all, sustainably.
The rule: separate offer of further training and advice
If you look at the traditional offerings of training and consulting companies, you will come across two separate services: Either you receive further training without support during the application of what you have learned or you receive a consulting service without learning the procedure or techniques yourself.
Our approach: A unique combination of training and consulting
Two things are necessary for successful improvements in the laboratory: The knowledge to identify potential for improvement and develop target states, and the experience and know-how to put this knowledge into practice. We share our extensive knowledge with you and support you in the implementation with our many years of experience.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
Premium content
Our high-quality teaching content has been developed in cooperation with leading experts from practice, science and research.
Experienced consultants
Our consultants have laboratory-based training and practical experience from over 150 projects in laboratories.
Implementation support
We support you according to your individual needs right through to the implementation of improvements in your laboratory.
Potential for improvement
With our approach, we achieve a sustainable improvement potential of up to 50% in a typical laboratory.
Cost-effective
Thanks to the hybrid approach of training & consulting via our online platform, projects are up to 90% cheaper than traditional consulting projects.
Flexible integration
The project content and process are flexibly and individually tailored to your company and can be easily integrated into everyday life.
Process of an optimization project
1. selection of the optimization topic
If you have not yet selected a specific optimization topic yourself, you are welcome to take a look at our range of topics or use one of our benchmarking tools to identify potential for improvement. Alternatively, you can also get advice from us in a personal meeting.
2. individual configuration of the project
Define the framework conditions of the project, such as the rough time frame and the desired ratio between further training and advice from our laboratory consultants.
3. start the optimization project
Start optimizing your laboratory: First, you will learn the theoretical procedure through our high-quality online courses. You then apply what you have learned in regular workshops in your laboratory.

OUR TOPICS
Lean laboratory processes
The execution of tests can be fundamentally optimized using lean techniques. This can improve employee productivity by up to 50% and reduce errors.
5S in the lab
5S is an established technique for designing workplaces safely, ergonomically and efficiently in five steps. In the module, the basics of the 5 steps are taught and applied in an exercise.
Lean Lab Design
With a suitable approach to the design of the laboratory, efficiency gains can be realized that can usually no longer be addressed cost-effectively after completion.

OUR BENCHMARKINGS
360° Benchmarking
This laboratory benchmarking provides you with a comprehensive comparison of cost efficiency, productivity, quality and speed and the laboratory practices and capabilities relevant to improving performance.
Compliance benchmarking
This benchmarking module offers you an analysis of your key compliance figures for e.g. deviations, CAPAs and audits.
Lead time benchmarking
With this benchmarking, you can analyze the status quo of the throughput times of test processes, but also of indirect processes, such as deviations.
...further benchmarking
In addition to these benchmarkings, we also offer many other benchmarking modules. Do a complete benchmarking (“360°”) or choose the benchmarking module that suits you best.
