Intro to Lean: Concepts Part 2 from Laboratory Learning Solutions on Vimeo. In this module, we continue our discussion about Lean tools and concepts to include process standardization, leveling the workload and continuous flow using the pull system to pull small batches of work through the laboratory. We define the establishment of error proofing critical to

Into to Lean: Concepts Part 1 from Laboratory Learning Solutions on Vimeo. In this module, we illustrate the use of the value stream map ( high level view and steps of a process with pertinent metrics to understand the waste and inefficiency and to create flow and establish pull. We review Lean concepts and tools to

Intro to Lean: Scientific Method from Laboratory Learning Solutions on Vimeo. The scientific method of problem solving is a principle of Lean similar to PDCA, or Six Sigma to consistently perform waste reduction, process redesign or process improvement in a standardized format. We begin with the problem, determine the data associated with the problem, illustrate
