A culture of proactive performance management and continuous improvement.Greater empowerment of laboratory personnel.Reduced levels of Work In Process (WIP).Significantly increased productivity and efficiency.A detailed understanding of lab capacity and resourcing requirements.More consistent and predictable laboratory performance.Better defined, structured and controlled laboratory processes.The potential benefits of implementing and sustaining an effective Lean Laboratory approach are: What are the benefits of a Lean Laboratory approach? Success is measured by balancing the three corners of the "Magic Triangle" (quality, resources, and time). The objective is to improve the economic efficiency of an organization.

A lean laboratory is one which is focused on delivering results in the most efficient way, in terms of cost and/or speed, with the most efficient use of resources. Lean Laboratory is a management and organization approach derived from the principles of Lean Manufacturing – essentially, process optimization driven.
