Kanban ( j.)
Give this one a try later!
a way of automatically signaling when new parts, supplies, or services are
needed.
In Japanese, kanban means sign, doorplate, poster, billboard-- but is taken
generally to mean any kind of signal

kaikaku -- broad, radical change
Perspective:
LEAN's model of kaizen - continual incremental improvement
Six Sigma...
Give this one a try later!
6 sigma developed by American companies in mid 1980s.
What steps in the value stream add no or insufficient value?
What have we missed (untapped creativity)?
Is there muda (waste)?
6 sigma = focuses on those processes that the *customer improves)
6 strategies for
A business strategy developed by the Motorola corporation
Focus is on customers and processes
Goal - elimination of all/virtually all defects
Looks for variations/defects in a process
Variations/defects removed through repeated curative efforts
Kanban bin example
Give this one a try later!
, an inventory specialist creates this simple system: two bins of supply on a
shelf, labelled with information on the inventory. One bin in use, and a twin
bin placed right behind it. When a bin is empty, this is a signal to take it and
refill it. When refilled, it is placed behind the bin that is currently in use.
Knowing how much item should be in the first bin is critical -- the par value
Satkatchewan implementation of LEAN

Canadian healthcare system -- gov't funded and run
Area served was as big as Washington, Orogon and Iowa combined
Annual budget was huge - 5 billion Canadian or about 3.74 billion
American
More than 40,000 healthcare workers
Serves a population of 1.13 million
GOALS = increase healthcare quality and reduce spending
First project was redesign of a children's hospital identifying efficiencies --
topographically, adjacency of areas reduces travel time and increases
efficiency.
Any space not assigned to useable areas (flow) in a room
