Process Transformation

LabAnswer can help make your laboratory efficient and your data available to those who need it. As part of the Assessment workstream, recommendations are made using the Current Workflow Document from the initial assessment, Business Process Improvement Recommendations Document and the User Requirements Document. As part of process transformation centralization and federation of functionality and processes will also be defined.

Among the recommendations are ways to:

• Improve Operations
• Improve Data Flow
• Integrate Instruments
• Integrate Databases and Applications
• Eliminate Redundant Processing

Because LabAnswer’s focus is solely on laboratory informatics automation, we have had the opportunity to solve similar problems in a variety of environments, thus enabling us to better understand the problem as well as the breadth of solutions. Each time we develop a solution to one of these common problems, we improve our approach, tools, best practices and sometimes, even our methodologies.

Our experts will provide you with a fresh perspective and best practices performed in some of the top labs in the country.

Lean Six Sigma

"Lean” is about eliminating waste, otherwise known as “non-value added work”. You can increase the speed of almost any research project by applying “Lean” thinking.

Six Sigma was originally developed as a set of practices designed to improve manufacturing processes and eliminate defects. It has now been extended to laboratory processes as well. Many of our clients tell us that efficiency is crucial to maximize value.
