Since their introduction in the 1990s, Lean design principles have been widely adopted by facility designers in every industry. A Lean laboratory is a facility designed to reduce mistakes and increase efficiency and productivity, with the efficient use of resources at the core of these principles.
The success of Lean design is measured using the ‘Magic Triangle’. The triangle’s three corners represent quality, resources, and time, all of which should be balanced for optimum Lean lab results.
In essence, Lean laboratory design eliminates wasted steps and redundancies to improve workflow. Implementing Lean lab techniques can help you produce more consistent lab results, increase productivity, reduce costs, and so on.
Several techniques can be used to create a lean lab, including taking steps like value stream mapping, in which every step of a particular process is analyzed to determine which steps add value and which can be eliminated. The same principals can be applied when selecting furniture, designing the layout of your clinical research lab, or choosing special equipment.
To aid in the organization and design of your medical lab, OnePointe Solutions offers modular furniture options that can be customized to perfectly meet the needs of your lab.
The success of any medical lab depends on the quality of its furniture. Our furniture meets all standard requirements for cleanliness and durability. It is also available in flexible and modular options, allowing your contract research organization lab to easily transition from one type of research to another without experiencing significant downtime or requiring a long adjustment period.
When designing blood banks and immunology centers, adherence to the Federal Code of Regulations 21CFR 211, subpart C “Current Good Manufacturing Practice for Finished Pharmaceuticals” is mandatory. This set of regulations prescribes the methods for storing, distributing, and transporting biological samples such as blood across different areas and facilities.
Modular casework and floor plan layouts are crucial when configuring your analytical testing laboratory to align with these guidelines.
