Are you interested in observing a Lean Management System deployed throughout an entire organization? Winona Health offers customized Continuous Systems Improvement site visits for a nominal fee. These site visits are designed to illustrate the implementation of systems—not just the Lean tools. Because these concepts apply across industries, the site visits are offered to health care and non-health care organizations.

Areas of interest:

  • Organizational Strategic Planning using Hoshin Kanri
  • Implementing Plan-Do-Check-Act and Box Scores
  • Front-line problem solving via FOCUS (Huddle) Boards
  • Two-bin kanban system in the OR
  • Other areas to visit can be customized

Evaluation feedback:

Very organized…excited to see how our group can bring back to our teams.

Efficient, relevant and humble presentation. Enjoyed every minute.

Loved seeing the large Obeya room and then other FOCUS board and PDCA in other clinical areas.

Very informative and interactive. Learned a lot in just a few short hours. Will take a lot of information back to our work unit/department.
