Lean Laboratory

A lean laboratory is one which is focused on testing products and materials to deliver results in the most efficient way in terms of cost or speed or both. Lean laboratory is a management and organization process derived from Lean Manufacturing and the Toyota Production System (TPS). The goal of a Lean laboratory is to use less effort, fewer resources, and less time to test incoming samples. Lean laboratory programs are generally associated with Food, Beverage, Life Science and Pharmaceutical companies.
