On this tour, attendees will see lean applied to biomedical research in a unique way, in the form of large-scale, top quality, in vivo, or animal-related research support management. See how innovative forms of lean are benefiting animals, workers and science alike, in a setting similar to clinical care. Discover how foundational methods like 5S, visual controls and standardization are applied within CCM’s processes. Learn why all CCM personnel receive training in lean management tools and techniques and how they are expected to identify opportunities to continuously improve every day.
