Central Ohio Branch - AALAS 

We will be hosting two fabulous workshops courtesy of Nationwide Children's Hospital:

Turn Your Wasteland into Wonderland!

Free to attend-Mark on Registration Form

Thursday, May 10 Afternoon

Are your storage rooms a mess? Are there expired drugs in your facility? Can your cage change process be better? Do you ever feel like a mouse on a wheel, running a lot and getting nowhere? If your answer is yes to any of these or similar questions, this is a workshop is for you! Brought to you by Process Improvement Specialists and staff from the Animal Resources Core (ARC) at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, this is an interactive two-hour workshop to go from chaotic, murky, and disorganized to streamlined, efficient, and simplified.  You’ll learn how to identify things that are wasting your time and apply tools such as 5S, spaghetti diagrams, Kanban cards, and continuous flow to make your animal facility a wonderland!
