room (OR) suite could translate to an additional $4 million to $7 million in annual revenue for the average-sized organization. Applying Six Sigma in Operating Room For improving quality, throughput and the bottom line in the operating room, numerous hospitals and health systems are finding that Six Sigma is a useful tool for improving quality. The Six Sigma projects have targeted…

Over the seven week course of Quality and Lean for Healthcare, the lesson explicates the understanding of Lean and six sigma yellow belt. Are project was to develop a team that was assign to a project manager in a new area within our hospital/organization. The tasked is to increase quality and lower cost in the process of applying Value Stream and Kaizen mapping. Within our discussion, we observed the understanding of the 8 waste, Lean thinking, Toyota Methodology and how to improve workflow.…

Lloyd II, D. & Holsenback, J. (2006). The use of Six Sigma in health care operations: Application and opportunity. Academy of Health Care Management Journal 2, p. 41-49. In this academic article, Lloyd and Holsenback describe Six Sigma as an application that provides framework for healthcare systems to manage quality improvement. Specifically, the article uses Six Sigma to reduce variability in the delivery of clinical services. Previous work is reviewed from a demonstration by a…

Fig. 1.1 Time line of lean six sigma 1.2 Literature Review: A lot of existing literature review articles are accessible on the standalone ways of lean methodology and Six Sigma methodology, however accessibility in the coordinated structure is in rare supply. Still a few endeavors have been made by the researchers in the past to arrange and recreate the current situation of LSS. Assarlind et al.[8]studied about the literature analysis of multi faceted view on LSS application. . They also…

Introduction: Six sigma has many definitions. It can be considered as a methodology which produces perfect process of production according to (Roan). In a different definition six sigma can be defined as a change in organizational culture ( Pande et al, 2000). Six sigma processes comes from a view which thought that when one has six standard deviations between the specification limit and process mean, no items will fail to meet specifications. One of six sigma purposes is to reduce process…

1.5 ULTRA PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY (UPLC) Since from thirty years, High performance liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is well accepted technique used in laboratories worldwide. It is one of the analytical techniques used to identify, separate and quantify each analyte in a mixture. One of the primary drivers for the development of this technique has been the progression of the packing materials (particle size, packing technology, chemistry) used to impact the separation. The fundamental…

T&L Medical Transportation owners and dispatchers are at a continuous battle over the daily operations of the company. One of the processes that they will need to consider implementing to stay strategically competitive would be upgrading their computer system. Therefore, for this process to occur the following steps will need to be executed for this to reach fruition in this organization.

In Made to Stick, Chip and Dan Heath argue that the six criteria of stickiness make every idea more memorable and powerful. They target business-leaders, policy-makers, and teachers. The first criterion is Simple, which has two required prongs: Core, which focuses the text, and Compact, which keeps a text concise (Heath 45-46). The second criterion is Unexpected, which opens and closes knowledge gaps to keep the target audience’s attention (65). Dan Pink’s TedTalk “The Puzzle of Motivation”…

Six Sigma to Lean or Not to Lean: Is That the Question? What are the similarities and differences between Six Sigma and the Lean Six Sigma? Using examples of companies’ implementation of the Six Sigma or the Lean Six Sigma, we look to demonstrate both the commonality and divergent elements of each approach. The result is best analyzed to review to define, compare, and contrast the Six Sigma and the Lean Six Sigma methodologies. Six Sigma Approach Six Sigma’s concentrations are a complex and…

Six Sigma involves the use of the Lean and Six Sigma to increase speed and quality. The Lean program works to eliminate waste within an organization through constant improvement and teamwork ("What Is Lean Six Sigma?"). Improvement is formed from “stable yet flexible processes” with an uninterrupted flow of information ("What Is Lean Six Sigma?"). The Six Sigma program teaches a “problem solving methodology” to achieve a standardization of quality without variations ("What Is Lean Six…
