How can lean management principles be applied in histology?
Applying lean management principles can optimize histology workflows by eliminating waste and improving process efficiency. Techniques such as 5S methodology (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) can improve laboratory organization, reduce clutter, and enhance productivity. Value stream mapping can identify bottlenecks and streamline processes, ensuring that resources are used effectively, and turnaround times are minimized.
