Lean LabOps Lessons from Biotech: Small Changes, Major Savings in Large-Scale Environments

Discover how biotech-inspired lean practices, from smarter consumables management to low-budget operational 

experiments, can deliver major efficiency gains and cost savings across large, complex R&D environments

  • Implementing biotech-style consumable and reagent discipline to cut everyday waste and minimise consumption across lab functions
  • Improving fleet utilisation by addressing redundant equipment and driving shared resource behaviors, not just system-level fixes
  • Pilot “no-budget / low-budget” LabOps experiments to test lean approaches before full digital or capital roll-outs
