Editor's Notes
- #3 The “Lean” methodwas pioneered by Toyota beginning in the mid-1950s – they were improving upon the ‘assembly line’ concept made popular by Henry Ford. It is focused on process and people. By the 1980s, these ideas started to filter into the US and North America, and have since been applied to many different industries beyond manufacturing – including healthcare.The idea behind lean in a nutshell is to improve “efficiency by consistently and thoroughly eliminating waste”…
- #4 A passionate belief that there is always a simpler, better way.A continuous drive to identify and eliminate waste.A way of thinking that causes everyone to use their talent to improve the business everyday.A culture that extends the ideas and concepts of Lean across all business processes using a common toolset.
