چکیده
With a review by Dr. Jeffrey Liker, noted lean management expert and best-selling author: “I believe there is a real need for papers like yours... ...The methodology you illustrate through value stream mapping, re-layout, and planning overall flow is the right approach and labs need to see the real example you describe to understand what is possible.” Jeffrey K. Liker Professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering Director, Japan Technology Management Program

Study on implementation of one-piece lean line design using simulation techniques: A practical approach
This paper discusses the simulation study carried out for proposing one-piece lean line layout with features of Lean Manufacturing. The lean initiatives that can be addressed are, introducing Kanban replenishment sys-tem, better work-in-process, changing the layout, visual management techniques, standardized work for the re-duction of cycle time, number of workers, number of setups. To improve ...
متن کاملLean six sigma process improvement in specimen receiving to improve stat chemistry turnaround times
Objective: As a consequence of stat turnaround times (TATs) chronically exceeding 60 minutes, our laboratory was facing pressure to divert limited resources toward the implementation of an emergency department satellite laboratory. Peer-reviewed literature in clinical laboratory quality assurance and improvement indicates that between 60-70% of errors occur at the pre-analytical level. Thus...
متن کاملAutomating Value Stream Mapping in Lean Environment by Using RFID Tool Authors
Value stream mapping is a lean manufacturing technique used to analyze and design the flow of materials and information required to bring a product or service to a consumer. At Toyota, where the technique originated, it is known as "material and information flow mapping". [29] It can be applied to nearly any value chain. Value stream mapping is often associated with manufacturing. It is also us...
متن کاملA collaborative approach to lean laboratory workstation design reduces wasted technologist travel.
Lean methodologies have been applied in many industries to reduce waste. We applied Lean techniques to redesign laboratory workstations with the aim of reducing the number of times employees must leave their workstations to complete their tasks. At baseline in 68 workflows (aggregates or sequence of process steps) studied, 251 (38%) of 664 tasks required workers to walk away from their workstat...
متن کاملModel Development of a Virtual Learning Environment to Enhance Lean Education
Modern day industry is becoming leaner by the day. This demands engineers with an in-depth understanding of lean philosophies. Current methods for teaching lean include hands-on projects and simulation. However, simulation games available in the market lack simplicity, ability to store the results, and modeling power. The goal of this research is to develop a virtual simulation platform which w...
