Waste analysis
Waste analysis is one of the key techniques for identifying optimization opportunities in laboratory processes. With the analysis, you can identify the most important optimization topics and recognize and quantify concrete starting points for improvement. You will not only learn the basics of the types of waste, but also how to apply and evaluate them using a short process in the video. In order to actually see the waste and to question any existing “operational blindness”, it is often helpful to obtain an external perspective from an expert on a specific process during the first process observation.
Background
Why are lean laboratory processes relevant?
- The waste analysis represents the starting point for optimization.
- Participants gain a new perspective on their processes and learn to recognize waste.
- This raises participants' awareness of improvements in general and they also recognize opportunities for improvement in completely different areas.
50%
Waste is in laboratory processes.
The scope (from 25 to 75%) depends on the respective process and the degree of optimization already achieved.Starting points for improvement
