1 Starting from Scratch

2 Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it. ~ Michelangelo

3 What is a Value Stream? Value Stream all the activities and actions (value added and non-value added, information and material) that are required to bring a customer through the essential requirements needed Value Stream (labour, equipment, supplies, support services, facilities)

4 What is a Value Stream? Value Stream Suppliers Design Purch Make Sell Customers TIME is the Primary Focus Product and/or Service Flow Information must flow quickly in all directions The Value Stream is the set of activities performed to transform the products and services into what the customer requires.

5 Whenever there is a service or a product for a customer there is a value stream.

6 Lean Thinking Principles Specify Value Specify value from the standpoint of the student and the organization Identify the Value Stream Identify the value stream to teach the student and remove wasted steps Make It Flow Enable the student and information to flow smoothly and quickly through every step At the Pull of the Patient In Pursuit of Perfection Match capacity with demand so work is done in line with the pull of the student While pursuing perfection through continuous improvement of the value stream

7 Care Support Diagnostic Imaging, Pharmacy, Laboratory, Infection Control & Medical Device Reprocessing Acute & Transitional Care Critical Care & Medical Cardiology, Medical Units, Integrated Stroke Unit / Rehab, Complex Care Planned Care Maternal Child & Surgical Episodic & Outpatient Care Mental Health, Emergency & Urgent Care, Outpatient Clinics Finance & Supply Support Knowledge & Information Support People Development Patient Experience & Quality Outcomes Accounts Payable/Accounts Receivable & General Finance, Contracts, Home Oxygen, Purchasing Stores, Bio-Med, Environmental Services and Nutrition Services Decision Support & Information Technology Patient Registration & Information, Flow, Health Information Services Facilities and Maintenance Human Resources, Payroll, Volunteers Occupational Health & Safety, Float Pool, & Scheduling, Organizational Development Patient Experience Risk, Quality & Accreditation Strategy Deployment (Continuous Improvement)

8 Why a Value Stream Approach? Taking a value stream perspective means working on the big picture, not just the individual processes, and improving the whole, not just the parts (it breaks silos) Identifying, understanding and improving value stream in our organization not as isolated tasks but as a flow of interconnected, interdependent activities and processes

9 Goal Engage staff and students to: Redesign work to eliminate waste Create standard layouts Make the work progress and problems visible Remove ambiguities, errors and risk Engage teams to redesign the flow of work through a value stream To simplify steps, eliminate delays, level the workload, reduce errors, save staff time

10 A3 Thinking

11 Go See or Gemba Gemba means real or actual place Lean practitioners often use this Japanese word to refer to the workplace, the place in the office or factory where value is created But, it also means reality or even truth To look at conditions empirically, you have to leave your office, step away from your monitor and your data, and observe what is really going on.

12 Go & See Definition To observe a situation, problem or improvement opportunity by going to the actual place Purpose To observe and understand the actual process Methods Walk along the path of the value stream starting at the end Stand and observe Objectives To identify the current state Not to fix- Learning only!

13 The Developing Reality At least Three Versions What You Think It Is... What It Actually Is... What You Would Like It To Be...

14 What is Current State? A pictorial representation of what is Currently happening in a process How can you create the future if you don t know where you ve come from?

15 Ways to Identify Current State Video all steps Spaghetti Diagram Process Map

18 Process Map

19 What is a Value Stream Map? Visual representation of the flow of work and information that links a service or product to a customer Simple Tool, and Hand Drawn Picture of your process using symbols Shows VA and NVA time Used to identify WASTE normally not seen Highlights for team where to focus CI Goal is to shrink the Value Stream by reducing time

20 Why Focus on Time? Time is the currency of Lean By reducing time, we eliminate waste We gain responsiveness Time is measured in terms of how many minutes (hopefully), hours or days (realistically) people or information wait Process Time & Delay Time

21 Areas of a Value Stream Map 1. The customer 2. The supplier 3. The processes 4. Information Flow 5. Process data or metrics 6. Timeline & Summary

25 Let s Try Working with your colleagues, create a value stream map for your next big vacation Start with the customer and supplier symbols Then add your process boxes Add the times you think it will take for process and delay

26 Engage Everyone in a Patient Focused Philosophy Flow No Waiting Takt Time Continuous Flow Pull System Quick Changeover People & Teamwork Continuous Improvement Kaizen Waste Reduction Standardized Work Visual Management 5 S - Work Place Organization Quality No Harm Andon Problem Solving Root Cause Error Proofing

27 The Three Divisions of Work CUSTOMERS FOCUS ON WHAT IS OF VALUE TO THEM! Value Added: Maximize this segment Eliminate Non Value Added: Activities that the customer would not want to pay for if they knew they were happening. Searching for equipment supplies, waiting for exam 5% results 55% Activities that the customer would be willing to pay for. Teaching, planning, registering 40% Non Value Added but Necessary: Any work carried out, which is necessary under current conditions but not something the customer would willing pay for. Student statistics, application files Minimize
