One controlled vendor list adopted across four laboratories

A federal laboratory network adopted one controlled vendor list across four labs through a Green Belt project coached by LEA.

Implemented Client-led, LEA-coached Published
A federal accredited laboratory network

The problem

Four laboratories kept separate vendor and supplier lists for quality assurance and procurement.

The approach

LEA delivered Lean training and Green Belt coaching; one project built a single master vendor list template and integrated it into a shared requisition tool.

The result

A standardized master vendor list was adopted across four laboratories, meeting ISO/IEC 17025 critical-vendor and federal procurement requirements, with quality and procurement information held in one controlled, versioned tool and sustainment training at each lab.
