PBSI’s training and mentorship program was developed by a team of certified Six Sigma professionals with more than 40 years of combined experience, and input from a team of forensic laboratory experts. The comprehensive program includes custom assessments, implementation templates, and training (i.e., Yellow, Green, and Black Belt training) for laboratory managers and forensic staff that can be delivered on-site or through its e-learning portal. PBSI's mentorship program includes step-by-step mentorship to assist the forensic laboratory in implementing a Six Sigma practice and selection of projects that offer the greatest return on investment.
Although lean Six Sigma is not new, the approach for Forensic Laboratories was pioneered by PBSI in its book, Implementing Quality in Laboratory Policies and Processes: Using Templates, Project Management, and Six Sigma (2009, CRC Press). Developed during the 1980s, lean Six Sigma has been successfully used by clinical laboratories for more than a decade. Using this proven methodology, forensic laboratories can also realize immediate results through increased efficiency, improved turnaround times, better staff allocation, and improved quality.
PBSI offers a complementary overview of lean Six Sigma for laboratory directors and an assessment of a lab’s current-state needs. PBSI’s technical assistance and training services are also available via GSA schedule contract.
