Toyota Production System Concepts - How Lean Can Improve Healthcare? A Brief Guide on Eliminating Waste and Identifying Areas for Improvement

Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman

Summary

By reducing waste and time spent waiting, the lean operational concepts and techniques aim to provide the greatest benefit for patients. It focuses a lot on staff being involved, making things better over time, and thinking about what the consumers want. All employees in the company, including doctors, staff, and managers, always work to find and remove any unnecessary things that don't help patients. They use lean concepts in healthcare to do this.

To ensure that the staff on the assembly line always have the necessary parts and tools to finish their work, Toyota has established various systems and support staff. If you go to one of their factories where things are put together, you can see this with your own eyes. Even though patients are very important, some people might say that Toyota spends a lot more money on training and supporting its employees than hospitals do. Toyota helps its team members focus on their tasks and the truck in front of them, which leads to better results and overall happiness.

Marshall Field's - The Store...

Gayle Soucek

Anyone who has waited in a Christmas line for the Walnut Room's Great Tree can attest that Chicago's loyalty to Marshall Field's is fierce. 
 
 
 
Dayton-Hudson even had to take out advertising around town to apologize for changing the Field's hallowed green bags. And with good reason—the store and those who ran it shaped the city's streets, subsidized its culture, and heralded its progress. The resulting commercial empire dictated wholesale tradeterms in Calcutta and sponsored towns in North Carolina, but its essence was always Chicago. So when the Marshall Field name was retired in 2006 after the stores were purchased by Macy's, protest slogans like "Field's is Chicago" and "Field's: as Chicago as it gets" weren't just emotional hype. Many still hope that name will be resurrected like the city it helped support during the Great Fire and the Great Depression. Until then, fans of Marshall Field's can celebrate its history with this warm look back at the beloved institution.
