6 TODAY S AGENDA What is Lean? Understanding the CME Environment 6 Real Applications of Lean in CME

7 WHAT IS LEAN? Lean is a one word catch phrase to summarize operational best practices developed by Toyota focused on maximizing efficiencies. Lean is about maximizing customer value while using minimal resources. You don t have to only use the Toyota principles you can create your own best practices! 7

8 WHAT IS LEAN? R$ Hours 8 3 Phone Calls Un-Happy Customer Different Inputs for Same Output? R$80 7 Hour 0 Calls Happy Customer

9 WHAT IS LEAN? Lean CME is developing an operational plan to minimize resource use to produce a product or service that meets the Customer s requirements. 9

10 WHAT IS LEAN? With your lean operational plan in hand, you ll need to measure your performance to know if you re on or off plan. Backlog Trays in Assembly Trays in Backlog # Trays Processed Jul 1-Aug 7-Jul 8-Jul 9-Jul 10-Jul 11-Jul 12-Jul 13-Jul 14-Jul 15-Jul 16-Jul 17-Jul 18-Jul 19-Jul 20-Jul 21-Jul 22-Jul 23-Jul 24-Jul 25-Jul 26-Jul 27-Jul 28-Jul 29-Jul 30-Jul # Trays

11 WHAT IS LEAN? Lean also realizes that every process must be actively managed or else things tend to fall apart. What am I supposed to do? Your Leadership Team Your Staff Clear leadership routines are a must for every business! 11

12 WHAT IS LEAN? Lean is not a one-time event, doesn t have a final destination, and isn t something you ll finish. Toyota got it right when they decided to continuously strive to be a better car maker never being satisfied with their performance. 12

13 WHAT IS LEAN? One more important point lean is a team effort! Employee engagement is critical if you want to unleash the total potential of your operations 13

14 LEAN IS Meeting Customer Requirements Developing a Lean Plan Measuring Performance Implementing Leadership Routines Engaging Your Team Minimizing Resource Use Improving Continuously 14

15 WHAT IS LEAN? Do I need Green Belts and Black Belts and all day training sessions? NO! What you do need is people dedicated to finding a better way to do the work and a system to sustain the improvements. Experienced or knowledgeable facilitators can help start the process. 15

16 LEAN CME 16 Lean CME Measurement & Leadership Routines Minimize Resource Use Employee Engagement Continuous Improvement Lean Operational Plan Customer Requirements

17 THE CME ENVIRONMENT A quick review of the CME environment. Transport to Storage Transport Dirty Instruments to CME Clean / Disinfect Instruments Sterilize Instruments Re-assemble Instruments 17

18 THE CME ENVIRONMENT Know your environment you really are running a small business. Surgical Instrument Reprocessing Services 100% Complete, 100% Sterile, 100% On-Time, all at a Reasonable Price!!!!!! 18

19 THE CME ENVIRONMENT Running your small business. What are your customer requirements? What resources are you using? Are you improving your performance? Are you measuring your performance? How engaged is your staff? Not working in CME? The same principles apply to your department as well! 19

20 20 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN

21 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN Step #1a: Customer Requirements Surveys Measurable Indicators Service, Quality, Cost Instruments and Trays - # of Responses by Score Instrument trays are clean 2.

28 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN Step #2d: Build a Value Stream Value Stream: Activities required to add value to the product or service to meet customer requirements and changes the fit, form or function of the item. Example: The value stream within the workflow may encompass 10 activities taking only 6 hours to complete. 28

29 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN Step #2d: Build a Value Stream Lean: Removes the gap between current workflow and the value stream. Example: Moving from 15 activities to 10 activities and reducing processing time from 12 hours to 6 hours. 29

40 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN Step #6: Eliminate Waste Step #7: Continuously Improve Only after building the foundation and roof and engaging the staff, can a department truly be ready to begin the Lean journey of Eliminating Waste and Continuous Improvement. 40

41 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN Step #6: Eliminate Waste Removing the non-value added activities, motions, clutter and other items that slow down the process, waste resources, cause poor quality, and inhibit meeting customer expectations. Step #7: Continuously Improve Changing how activities are performed to improve performance and set new standards. 41

42 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN Waste In order of importance to CME Waiting Products and people Defects Excess Motion Products and people Transportation Products and people Underutilized People Excess Inventory Overproduction Excessive Processing 42

43 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN Waiting Eliminate It! Implement continuous flow Align staff schedule to workload Increase staff skills Ensure staff never have to wait to start a task, move to a secondary task, or ask what to do next Maximize uptime on bottleneck operations 43

44 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN Defects Eliminate Them! Prevent Errors at the Source Create standard work Ensure documented instructions are current Create visual controls to ensure compliance Ensure proper training and follow-up is in place Measure errors and address root causes Utilize technology to provide information and error proofing visual aids at point of work 44

45 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN Excess Motion Reduce It! Movement of people, material, or products that does not add value Layout department to minimize movements Move required supplies, materials, products closer to the work stations Avoid double handling of items one touch is the goal cut your touches in half Set up Workstations ergonomically to minimize walking, reaching, bending 45

46 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN Excess Motion Reduce It! Simple everything routinely used within easy reach Streamlined and Simplified in Decontamination 46

47 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN Transportation Reduce It! Design the workspace to minimize the distance for work to be moved, remove cross-flow, minimize handling Clean up the preference cards to eliminate 30% return unused rates from case carts Never walk to or from someplace without taking or bringing back something Cut floor runs or restocking trips in half and save the walking 47

48 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN Decontamination Eliminate Waste People or instruments waiting Instruments not cleaned Supplies not close by Excess movement OR mixes dirty and clean instruments Visual management Manage productivity Continuously Improve Match staff to workflow Navigator position Linear flow / inline sinks Technology for information 48

49 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN Decontamination Examples Navigator staff handles carts, scans, delivers work to stations and maintains flow Wash technicians stay at stations working to improve throughput Inline Sinks with Sonic Close to Washer Low Temp Assembly and Sterilization with Windows Hand Wash with Two Pass Through Windows Vendor Room with Windows 49 Scope Room

50 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN Assembly Eliminate Waste Supplies not close by Reduce interruptions Looking for missing instruments Work assignments Visual management Manage productivity Quality inspections Incorrect incomplete count sheets Continuously Improve Match staff to workflow Navigator position Wrapping position Linear flow Separate low temp Reduce # of instruments in trays Technology for information 50

51 REAL APPLICATIONS OF LEAN Assembly Examples 51 Conveyor to move trays to sterilizer person
