Enhancing your Lab Informatics Systems (LIMS/ELN) through Lean Lab Principles

Pittcon’s professional quality online Short Courses are an affordable opportunity for continuing education. All courses count towards building your Professional Hours. Courses take place on Wednesdays, 1:00-3:00 PM EST. 

Manufacturers use lean techniques to improve quality, productivity, and cycle time. Labs can apply the same methods to realize similar benefits, especially if lab informatics tools like LIMS or ELN are used. Leaning a lab in concert with such systems improves performance, minimizes paper, facilitates compliance, and reduces operating costs with less expense than purchasing new tools.
