Lab Workflow Optimization
Transform your laboratory operations with data-driven workflow analysis and optimization. Reduce turnaround times, eliminate bottlenecks, and improve quality.
Our Optimization Process
Current State Assessment
We analyze your existing workflows, measure key metrics, and identify pain points through observation and data analysis.
Bottleneck Identification
Using lean methodology and data analysis, we identify the specific constraints limiting your laboratory throughput.
Future State Design
We design optimized workflows that eliminate waste, reduce handoffs, and leverage automation opportunities.
Implementation Support
We guide implementation of changes, including LIMS configuration, staff training, and process documentation.
Continuous Improvement
We establish metrics and monitoring to sustain improvements and drive ongoing optimization.
