CLMA Body of Knowledge Domains: Business and Clinical Operations, Financial Management, Information Technology This presentation is meant to demonstrate how manufacturing and LEAN Six-Sigma tools/methodologies can be applied in clinical testing laboratories. Deploying these tools will help decrease the cost-of-poor-quality, increase operational efficiency and facilitate moving the company culture in a continuous improvement state-of-mind.
