Overview
• Application of industrial thinking to the delivery of health care services
• Not doctoring/nursing
• Why study Toyota?
3
What TPS is not
• Simple procedures
• Quick Fix
• Pick and choose (dabble)

PHILOSOPHY Long term thinking
Top down commitment
Base management decisions on long-term goals even at the expense of short term goals
• Customers
• Profitability
• Employees

PROCESS: OUTCOMES
• Eliminate waste
• Build in quality
• Build in continuous improvement

PROCESSTypes of Waste
• Overproduction• Excess inventory• Unnecessary transport• Unnecessary movement • Waiting • Over processing and Incorrect processing• Defects• Unused employee creativityAdapted from Liker, JK. The Toyota Way. New York: McGraw Hill, 2004. Pages 28-29.

PROCESSCommon Reactions to Excesses
• Increase capacity• Increase size of plant• Increase warehouse• Increase overhead• Increase labor force• Increase overtime
Rather than concentrating on eliminating waste

CRAFTING THE PROCESSSpecifications
• Activity: Specific
• Connection : Binary, direct
