CM13D9 – Less Waste Using Lean Principles
This session will feature Boston's Partners Healthcare and California's Kaiser Permanente in their use of lean principles to improve waste reduction efforts. Lean principles were used to understand the critical processes involved in waste generation, material and waste baseline, identification of priority areas, program design and implementation, and measurement and reporting. Attendees will leave with an understanding of how manufacturing tools can be used to manage the waste stream at their facility and a better understanding of how to analyze waste leaving the facility. In this session, members of the Partners and KP teams will share their learning experiences and audience members will come away from the program with an introduction to lean applications, some tips on improving waste reduction, and an understanding of some common elements of high-performing teams.
