Some of you might know i'm training as a baby physio-terrorist at the mo, and all us 'ickle firsties where invited to an NHS improvment (!) day, lunch was free so i though what the hey lets go. :pDT_Xtremez_30:

The morning stated out okay- death by power point but not to taxing, untill we started to do a time/motion study of our morning- umm i thought sounds a bit like LEAN.....

the afternoon got worse- we had to do an end-to-end study of a paitients stay in hospital.....So mumbled i we used to do this where i worked- we called it LEAN' the lecturer face lit up like the sun 'Yes that exactly it, the NHS adopted the idea after its success in the milliatry! :0
and i thought i'd got away fromm all that sh1t!

Would you belive it- the NHS is trying to intoduce LEAN to get patients in and out of hospital quicker- someone forgot to tell them it only works on a pre-progrmed engineering line then...........

when you go into hospital and feel your being put through the sausage factory- you are- literally!:pDT_Xtremez_35:

so what do people think?

LEAN does not work, Anyone apart from over paid 'Management Consultants' can see this.

I can't help but wonder what military that was?

The huge issue that most of us found with LEAN is that you cannot quantify most of our processes to a timescale or resource requirement. I'm sure that the same could pretty much be said for a patient's recovery time and needs.

There was a lean team here again the other week (or some version of it) trying to screw up our Role Bay.
There were about 6 people standing around, mostly SNCO's and a WO telling the one poor Cpl how to pack stuff away in a box! Where the hell is that saving money??
Put the buggers back to real jobs and make it pay that way rather than standing around annoying the workers!
