Good round-up of Lean and selected tools (1/1 people found this helpful)

Although sited as a book for Lean in hospitals, medical offices, clinics and other healthcare organisations, the emphasis on this book is towards hospital application.

Certaining the tools can be used generically but the examples are clearly focued on the acute setting and the more extensive case study on solving a specialist pharmacy production flow-pull problem.

Having said this the text is clear, concise and provides a good background on Lean and represents a series of very helpful flow, standard work and other workcharts. The author is to be congratulated on providing these alone. With such assistance provided I can see that the authors self-proclaimed desire that the book be used as a reference source and guide will be fulfilled.

This is a good introduction to Lean in healthcare; the langugage is clear, concepts are explained and the tools are easy to follow. A very useful addition to the canon of material available and one that implementers and mentor-facilitators should certainly own.
