Not a routine project\, but a rare opportunity – and a great responsibility at the same time. This makes an effective approach all the more important: Efficiency increases of up to 25% can be achieved through process-optimized laboratory planning – potential that is usually no longer economically feasible after commissioning. At the same time\, well-coordinated planning increases employee satisfaction and acceptance – a success factor that is often underestimated. \nAim of the webinar\nThe webinar will show you how to use lean management techniques to develop a laboratory layout that is optimally tailored to your processes – from macro design (several laboratory rooms) to micro design of individual workstations. You will learn about the typical challenges that arise in laboratory planning – and how you can overcome them in a targeted manner. You will also gain an overview of how to analyze processes and work paths and transfer them into an efficient room concept. Finally\, you will gain an insight into Geniu’s consulting services\, including the “layout check” to review laboratory floor plans and the development of customized laboratory space concepts. \nTarget group\nThe webinar is aimed at managers and employees in laboratories who are responsible for planning conversions or new builds. It shows a tried-and-tested procedure for developing an optimized layout quickly and independently of laboratory furniture manufacturers. \nSpeaker\nDr. Wolf-Christian Gerstner is the founder and managing director of Geniu\, specializing in training and consulting for laboratories. He has successfully implemented over 50 laboratory layout projects in Europe\, the USA and Asia – in areas such as pharmaceuticals\, biotechnology\, chemistry\, medicine\, food analysis and the environment. Dr. Gerstner is considered one of the leading experts for process-optimized laboratory layouts in Europe. He developed the proprietary Geniu method for analysing test and activity portfolios as the basis for efficient layouts.\nHis experience also includes automation\, robotics\, employee satisfaction and organizational structures\, which are closely linked to laboratory layouts.

Not a routine project\, but a rare opportunity – and a great responsibility at the same time. This makes an effective approach all the more important: Efficiency increases of up to 25% can be achieved through process-optimized laboratory planning – potential that is usually no longer economically feasible after commissioning. At the same time\, well-coordinated planning increases employee satisfaction and acceptance – a success factor that is often underestimated. \nAim of the webinar\nThe webinar will show you how to use lean management techniques to develop a laboratory layout that is optimally tailored to your processes – from macro design (several laboratory rooms) to micro design of individual workstations. You will learn about the typical challenges that arise in laboratory planning – and how you can overcome them in a targeted manner. You will also gain an overview of how to analyze processes and work paths and transfer them into an efficient room concept. Finally\, you will gain an insight into Geniu’s consulting services\, including the “layout check” to review laboratory floor plans and the development of customized laboratory space concepts. \nTarget group\nThe webinar is aimed at managers and employees in laboratories who are responsible for planning conversions or new builds. It shows a tried-and-tested procedure for developing an optimized layout quickly and independently of laboratory furniture manufacturers. \nSpeaker\nDr. Wolf-Christian Gerstner is the founder and managing director of Geniu\, specializing in training and consulting for laboratories. He has successfully implemented over 50 laboratory layout projects in Europe\, the USA and Asia – in areas such as pharmaceuticals\, biotechnology\, chemistry\, medicine\, food analysis and the environment. Dr. Gerstner is considered one of the leading experts for process-optimized laboratory layouts in Europe. He developed the proprietary Geniu method for analysing test and activity portfolios as the basis for efficient layouts.\nHis experience also includes automation\, robotics\, employee satisfaction and organizational structures\, which are closely linked to laboratory layouts.
