Laboratory Lean Six Sigma

Laboratory Lean Six Sigma is a structured approach to process improvement adapted from the manufacturing industry and applied to the forensic laboratory. By utilizing data, your process experts’ knowledge, and LSS concepts and tools, we address areas with bottlenecks and high rework rates to improve quality, capacity, and productivity. Sorenson Forensics is a Lean Six Sigma laboratory, and the impact it has made on our operations is a testament to this program’s effectiveness. Whether you are interested in a full Lean Six Sigma process improvement project, in upgrading your certification, or are looking for post-project support, we have a variety of options to meet your needs.

Led by certified Black/Green Belt practitioners with a background in forensics, your team will perform a deep dive into your laboratory processes and develop solutions to meet the specific goals of your lab. Click here to learn more.

In the process of participating in a process improvement project, select team members can opt for Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification. Click here to read more.

If the full Lean Six Sigma program isn’t the optimal choice for your lab due to time, scope, or budget restrictions, we offer a shorter program that focuses on implementing the principles of Lean in your operations; namely, reducing waste, improving flow, and delivering results in a timely manner.
