Centralized consumables inventory supports timely preventive maintenance
A federal accredited laboratory centralized its instrument-consumables inventory through a Green Belt project coached by LEA.
The problem
An ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory unit had no central itemized inventory of maintenance parts, with overstocking and stock held in several locations.
The approach
LEA delivered Lean Green Belt training and coaching for a focused project to centralize instrument-consumables inventory.
The result
A centralized inventory now tracks parts usage, availability and stock reduction, reducing inventory waste and time spent searching for parts, and laboratory staff earned Green Belt certification.
