The document summarizes lean process improvements implemented in a histopathology department. Broad aims included sharing lean solutions, debating strengths/weaknesses, and networking. Specific changes included:
1) Mapping processes to identify waste like movement and waiting, then standardizing work like using templates to reduce movement and errors.
2) Optimizing the laboratory layout to reduce distance traveled and support continuous specimen flow.
3) Introducing a "pull" system where consultants pull batches based on capacity rather than being "pushed" work, improving turnaround times.
These changes reduced non-value added time and waste, supporting the goals of faster reporting and improved patient care.
This document discusses how to improve employee engagement in order to enhance success for individuals, teams, and companies. It explains that monetary rewards alone do not drive engagement, and that giving employees the right framework to be creative and solve problems is important. Management plays a key role in creating this type of framework and nurturing an environment where employees feel they can continuously develop and actualize themselves.

Kate Hobson introduces how implementing some Lean principles in a small radiology department led to significant improvements. By process mapping and using the Glenday sieve to identify high-volume ("green") procedures, the department was able to streamline workflows to reduce wait times. Simple changes like standardizing dating scans to 5-minute slots and having sonographers see clinic appointments freed up capacity. Clearings the backlog and actively managing schedules further reduced waits. While change management was difficult, Lean principles can cure inefficiencies in radiology and beyond.

Lean thinking literature review and suggestions for future researchWorld-Academic Journal
The research provides a literature overview from a timespan of more than 60 years with articles historically and thematically organized about the application of “Lean thinking” (LT) concept and the main research findings through different industries. Lean thinking is an important but yet still under researched aspect of strategic management. By collecting research records from ISI web of knowledge naming directly the lean thinking issue; 34 Web of science records, 10 Medline records and 2 Chinese citation database records were found. Results show that the main focus areas on lean thinking researches are mainly applied in health care industry (with the 48% of the collected records) followed by manufacturing industry (17%), construction (10%), product development (7%), training and education (7%) and supply chain (2%). Other industries (9%) are also starting to apply lean thinking philosophy according to the particularities of their domain. We find research gaps and provide directions for further investigation.

This document provides an overview of the Oobeya technique used in Lean management. Oobeya, which means "big conference room" in Japanese, is used to make knowledge work visible so waste can be eliminated. It involves defining clear and measurable targets, decomposing those targets to individual team members, and using an "issue board" to identify and resolve problems in a constructive manner. The leader's role is to define targets, manage the process, and ensure work is balanced, while members work to deliver solutions and report on progress toward targets using a Plan-Do-Check-Act framework.
The document discusses building a lean management system. It provides examples from Toyota of integrating process thinking, learning, and quality approaches. Key aspects of developing a lean system include having a shared language, understanding organizational dynamics and performance gaps, agreeing on important problems to address, developing visual tools to monitor plans and identify variations, and building knowledge through experimentation and communities of practice. The overall goal is to create stability and address issues systematically using a plan-do-check-act approach to continuously improve the organization.
This document provides an overview of the Toyota Management System (TMS). It discusses the origins and history of Toyota's lean manufacturing approach. The core aspects of the TMS are described, including the Toyota Production System (TPS), Toyota Development System (TDS), and Toyota Marketing and Sales System (TMSS).

How to develop managers able to lean and sustain end to-end value streamsLean Enterprise Academy
The document discusses how to develop managers to lead and sustain end-to-end value streams using lean thinking. It recommends teaching managers to see work as a process, identify value and waste, grasp problems visually, define gaps, and develop plans with alternative experiments. Managers should learn to use PDCA, make performance visible, and review progress regularly to close gaps through consensus building and a structured "learn by doing" approach including gemba walks, problem solving, coaching, and managing visually. The goal is to compress the time from identifying problems to implementing countermeasures for a competitive advantage.

3. 3 Lean Enterprise Academy www.leanuk.org
Welcome
• To the first Forum of the Lean Healthcare Network
• An independent network to help accelerate the
implementation of lean across the NHS
• Building on the work of the pioneers of lean
healthcare in the NHS and across the globe
• And the Lean Enterprise Academy’s experience in
spreading lean across many industries
• Supported and advised by today’s speakers and :-
• NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement
• NHS Confederation
• NHS Health and Social Care Information Centre
4. 4 Lean Enterprise Academy www.leanuk.org
Today
• Who are we?
• Hospital Trusts 91
• Primary and Mental Health Care Trusts 20
• Ambulance Service 12
• Strategic Health Authorities 38
• Other NHS Institutions 30
• Consultants, Service Providers etc. 46
• Today’s tasks:-
• Develop a common understanding of the lean
opportunities in the NHS
• Lean more about implementing lean and creating flow
• Collect views and share plans for future action
5. 5 Lean Enterprise Academy www.leanuk.org
Lean Thinking
• Lean Thinking derives from observing best
practice organisations, not from theory
• It has a long history – Toyota the leading example
• Their example shows us the power of a relentless
focus on creating brilliant processes
• From them we extracted the principles for
designing lean processes
• And how to manage them through a scientific
approach to problem solving close to the source
• It is a path that will separate the sheep from the
goats – it not a magic recipe or a quick fix!
6. 6 Lean Enterprise Academy www.leanuk.org
Process Thinking
• We traditionally see an organisation as a
collection of departments or activities, managed
separately and with time buffers between them
• Performance is improved by setting targets, by
switching managers and by restructuring
• Lean thinkers see an organisation as a collection
of customer, provider and support processes
• The task is to identify the value in each process,
to see and manage the end-to-end flows and to
synchronise the support flows
• But what are the real flows in healthcare?
7. 7 Lean Enterprise Academy www.leanuk.org
Seeing Value
• Each customer, provider and support process
contains many steps: -
• Which steps create value – solve the problem?
• Which steps simply waste people’s time?
• What is the experience like for each party?
• Do queues really help?
• Do they change the amount of work to be done
or smooth demand?
• Do they improve the utilisation of our most
expensive assets?
• Can we distinguish between actual and created
demand?
8. 8 Lean Enterprise Academy www.leanuk.org
Value Streams
• Mapping the combined customer and provider
process reveals lots of waste and dysfunctions
• Steps that are not performed in the same way
each time – with no standard and no review
• We can do a lot to remove ambiguities from how
tasks are performed and find fail safe procedures
• We can also track root causes and redesign steps
to eliminate errors
• All this helps to improve quality
• But to find the stability to enable us to link steps
together to create flow we need to analyse the
different types of work to be done
9. 9 Lean Enterprise Academy www.leanuk.org
Finding Stability
• The flow of work through healthcare is
complicated – yet much of the work is routine
• If we can identify this routine work and manage it
separately we can begin the virtuous lean circle
• We can standardise the steps, synchronise them
so the work flows through each step without
interruption and flow in line with real demand
• We also discover as we do this we eliminate lots
of scheduling and queues, we can plan ahead
better and better utilise our assets
• And we free up time for experts to concentrate on
solving the really complicated and rare work!
10. 10 Lean Enterprise Academy www.leanuk.org
Making the Change
• None of this happens unless someone is
responsible for rethinking the whole process
• Supported by all those involved in running the
process
• Who together, with expert help, develop a future
state plan
• Which shows where to conduct breakthrough
improvement events and where to use lean tools
• This is actually an experiential and shared
learning process – that goes on for ever!
• The only changes that last are the ones you do!
11. 11 Lean Enterprise Academy www.leanuk.org
In Summary
• Lean Thinking embeds quality at source into
every process – with big implications for mortality
and medical errors
• It also frees up the latent capacity in current
systems – without requiring new capital
• It releases more time to spend on solving the
difficult cases – while going home on time!
• As you improve current processes you see new
opportunities for designing alternative ways of
delivering care – with quite different working
practices and right sized equipment
• There is no one lean best way – but several!
