I've been asked to present a brief overview (20 mins) on how Lean can be used to assist in a healthcare environment. Does anyone have a simple presentation on the subject? If not in healthcare, in the office environment would help.

Wayne provided some links in this post (http://elsmar.com/Forums/showpost.php?p=210132&postcount=3)and in this thread: Knowledge about Lean - Applications and Implementation in Service Industries (http://elsmar.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=23290&highlight=lean+healthcare)

You should check out the Lean Enterprise Institute. There you can find:

1) Success Stories
2) Articles on lean in healthcare.
3) Articles on areas other than the shopfloor.

Registration is required for access to these areas, but it is free and easy.

Thanks Harry, I did a search and looked in the attachments but without success.

Try again later, Colin. I am having poor internet connection right now but am able to read about half of the article.
