Are you starting a new lab or expanding/moving an existing lab?
Are you a PI who would you like increase research productivity and laboratory safety by 20-50% at no additional cost?
Are you a graduate student who wants to get higher quality data faster and graduate sooner?
Are you an EHS person who is tired of chasing the never ending violations?
Then The Lean Lab Startup is a must attend event for you!
In this session, we will look at how the application of a few simple Continuous Improvement tools (5S and Value Stream Mapping) have been successfully applied in several laboratories at MIT. You will learn how these simple techniques will have a direct and immediate impact on the work performed in your lab today. As part of the session, we will explain the rationale behind these techniques by looking at the systems and psychological underpinnings through the work of several notable MIT faculty, including Jay Forrester, John DC Little, Ed Schein, Douglas McGregor, and Kurt Lewin.
Finally, we will present our “90 minute recipe” to assist you in kicking off these efforts in your own lab. Pre-requisites: Curiosity 101 and Sense of humor 202.
