  Slide 17 - I think it is unrealistic, especially for healthcare, to say everybody will do everything exactly the same way each time. There's some process variation that clearly harms patients or causes delays or increases costs. There is some variation that really seems to not make a difference. 'Standardized work' (Toyota uses that term) implies a spectrum of standardization. 'Standard' implies inflexible and overly rigid and that word (and the way it's prevented on this slide) will really turn off people in healthcare. Also, I'd suggest that we can 'reduce' process variation more so than we can 'eliminate' it.

  This was a 10-minute intro presentation for an IT/IS audience. There are many talking points, but a main one is that Lean is NOT traditional cost-cutting and the slide of financial impact shouldn't be taken to indicate that Lean is only about cost and revenue. The main point is that better quality and better processes LEAD to cost reduction - quality and cost go together.
