Abstract

Accuracy in result is the main feature of any testing laboratories. Accurate result and timely report not only useful to make decision but also helps to laboratory to remain competitive in the market. Elimination of nonvalue added activity is important to obtain accurate and timely result. This paper addresses the lean wastes occur in testing laboratory. Also suggest roadmap for lean implementation in testing laboratory. Case study shows that application of lean manufacturing tools is able to eliminate nonvalue added activities also provide not only faster process but also gain customer satisfaction.
