Abstract : Laboratory reagents are used by laboratories for various medical test. Each test requires its own set of Reagents.
In recent days, the number of tests that a facility has to perform has increased phenomenally. Irrespective of the test being an
automatic or manual process, many tertiary care hospital management believes that they are incurring wastage or loss of
reagents. The aim of this study is to provide a proper method study using the tools of Industrial engineering that can be
implemented in any Laboratory or by any tertiary healthcare firm to find out the percentage of loss and its causes and then
eliminate them. This process will improve Efficiency of the system and Productivity. For the purpose of our study, we have
selected to analyses T3, T4 and TSH Reagents which are the most widely used Reagent and thus, reducing wastage of this
reagent would mean a significant positive growth in productivity. The study results some of the most common errors that
occur in these laboratory tests associated with the reagents and also provide other errors that can be minimized.
