2 Today s s Roadmap Laboratory Operational process Value vs. Non-Value Activity Lean and Six Sigma Concepts and Tools Why Automation Lean Outcomes 2
3 Fundamental Law of Automation Quotations It is important to recognize that instruments and automation, at their best, do not resolve or fix process issues. You must first optimize processes before fully automating those processes, otherwise, you have simply automated to the highest order those bad processes. Page Siemens Healthcare 2009 Siemens Diagnostics. Healthcare All Diagnostics rights reserved Inc.
4 Clinical Lab Production Process In many ways, the Lab is similar to a manufacturing plant Raw Materials Process Oriented 24/7 Production with Priorities The Lab s Product is INFORMATION 4
5 The Diagnostic Process Continuum Post-Analytical pay invoices order supplies manage inventory store samples dispose of waste post-sort transmit test results technical validation Pre-Analytical prepare order collect sample transport to lab accession sample centrifuge decap tubes pre-sort/aliquot transport to analyzer Targets for Automation 5 Analytical
6 Lean Versus Six Sigma Six Sigma Lean Focus on standardization, Reducing variation PROBLEM FOCUSED Culture Driven by Data Focus on eliminating waste, Reducing redundancy FLOW FOCUSED Culture based on Behavior He Who Touches Least Wins! 6
7 Value Added vs. Non-Value Added What Is Your Customer Willing to Pay For? Value Added Any activity that increases the market form or function of the product/service. Typically 1-2% of entire process time. Non-Value Added Any activity that does not add market form or function or is not necessary. (These activities should be eliminated, simplified, reduced, or integrated.) Necessary non value added activity: enabling or incidental. (Examples: maintenance, calibration, quality control) 7
8 Non-Value Added Activities Sample Splitting Specimen Retrieval Manual Archiving Manual Logs Manual Dilutions and Reruns Calibration Maintenance Quality Control Inventory, Ordering Labeling, Stocking 8
9 Sources of NVA Waste Excess Motion Transportation Over- Processing Underutilized People Waiting Defects 9
