Thursday, May 2, 2024 ● 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
READY TO TACKLE LEAN? Seeking more understanding about Lean principles and how to use them more powerfully? Then our one-day Lean for Lab Leaders workshop is custom-made for you and your lab’s management team.
This Lean Boot Camp is about the basics, along with hands-on mastery of core concepts. During this important workshop, you will learn how and why Lean continues to be one of the most powerful quality management systems used by the world’s best companies. Techniques, methods, and best practices are laid out in a simple, easy-to-understand manner.
Best of all, effective implementation of Lean methods can help your lab substantially cut costs while boosting quality. In today’s world of shrinking lab reimbursement, the ability to reduce expenses is a major objective that Lean can help you achieve.
Of equal significance to you is the fact that clinical labs and pathology groups with a working Lean culture deliver ever-improving productivity while at the same time boosting staff retention. That’s because Lean philosophies and techniques enagage your clinical laboratory scientists and other skilled positions to identify recurring sources of errors while giving them the knowledge and tools to fix them. The result is lowered lab costs, higher quality, and happier lab staff.
This is targeted learning tailored specifically for individuals working in hospitals, clinical laboratories, and anatomic pathology groups. As you grasp the fundamentals of Lean, exercises will demonstrate the power of these techniques to transform your organization. A rich variety of case studies and real-life examples help bring these techniques to life. You’ll learn proven ways to sustain Lean gains in your laboratory. By the end of the day, you’ll be ready to develop a continuous improvement roadmap for your organization.
This Lean Boot Camp is a great way to acquire the knowledge you need. Plan to attend with several of your team members. Learn the Lean you need to succeed!
