Wow. That's the first word that comes to mind when I think about Lean. For me, that "wow" has several meanings. One: Wow, this philosophy and set of tools has tremendous potential. Two: Wow, Lean isn't just for manufacturing it can work anywhere. Three: Wow, healthcare is a place where Lean can benefit an entire community, or an entire country.

This chapter provides a synthesis of the growing literature associated with the employment of the popular approach to improvement and supply chain design—lean thinking. It also endeavours to capture the breadth and depth of lean implementation in healthcare both in terms of an approach to improvement and the design of supply chains. Briefly the origins

Lean Principles for Healthcare
2013Lean thinking, which developed from lean manufacturing or the Toyota Production System, is centred around elimination of waste and preserving value. Lean became especially important, some may go so far to say a fad, in manufacturing in the 1990s. So why in the twenty-first century might the principles of lean be relevant to healthcare?

Lean methods: inappropriate for healthcare
BMJ, 2020In Smith and colleagues’ analysis in The BMJ ’s Quality Improvement series of infomercial articles, “Lean” is mentioned no less than 42 times.1 Lean seems to talk a lot about using Lean to talk about how to redefine “value” in healthcare. Attempts to reduce the “commodity” of treating illness into standardised processes is inappropriate from the start.

As healthcare organizations look for new and improved ways to reduce costs and still offer quality healthcare, many are turning to the Toyota Production System of doing business. Rather than focusing on cutting personnel and assets, "lean healthcare" looks to improve patient satisfaction through improved actions and processes.
