With that being said, how can someonefrom outside the healthcare profession come in and make these dramatic improvements?It is often difficult for non-manufacturing individuals to grasp concepts and terminology relatedto processes (inputs, outputs, variables, etc). The key is finding a way to show people that whatthey are doing is a process and an integral part of a much larger process all together. And, by notbeing consistent in their tasks or protocols, they are actually introducing more variation into thesystem than needed. This variation is what the customers end up seeing and remembering and soapplying Lean Six Sigma methodologies is actually the best way to make dramaticimprovements

Young engineers need to spend some time getting their hands dirty before starting to work on more advanced manufacturing projects. This builds a good foundation. ● Our business is focused on the integration of mechanical, electrical and software elements. These need to be integrated from design through manufacturing and require engineers who are comfortable in lean manufacturing across these very different disciplines.

In addition,other areas need careful assessment such as conservation of raw materials, energy and prudentcapital expenditures to help ensure competitive advantage [29]. Much progress has beenachieved in operating efficiency with regard to labor input. Historically this can be seen readilywith agriculture, construction and manufacturing.

has been steadily and rapidly changing for many years. From about the mid-1980’s, concepts of cost control, quality and overall efficiency have become an increasingly sharp focus. In recent years, many companies have tunneled in on lean manufacturing as their savior. It is certainly true that the precepts and procedures of lean, ToC, TQM and other regimens are essential for modern manufacturing competitiveness, and instruction in these matters has become a fundamental component in manufacturing education. With far less visible excitement, however, another ‘revolution’ has entered the scene. The fastest growing sectors of product type are those that require new processing technologies. In 21st century
