How could/has “Lean” helped
Lean (simply put)Some early expectations (2003)
• Cooks out the fat (waste)
• More consistently done• A better taste• Better for you (Safer)• Visible performance
Some early lessons - (May 2003)
• Our processes complex - years of “adding solutions”
• Lean = OD • Techniques in Lean offer genuine
sustainable improvement• Lean = new skills for management• Focus of Lean is Quality product• Lean projects generate spin offs to
continuous improvement
Implementing Lean ThinkingSept’04
• 7 tactics – Innocuous pilot– Get an expert– Lean Network– 5S/CANDO– Clinical project– Management Development– Whole “Production” System

But what about the savings……?
Counting the cost – traditional method
• Estimate of savings (Caerphilly)– CT Scans (patient days saved) £42k– Outliers (patient days) £98k– Delayed Transfers £88k– Agency (actual cost reduction) £500k– Stock (est. costs) £50k
• Issues– “Notional”– Hitting budget?– Other programmes
But what about the savings……?
a hypothesis
Theory – Congestion Costs
“On the basis of available data, it is estimated that the total direct costs of congestion are around £825m per annum, which comprises around £430m incurred by business users and £395m incurred by other users.” (Economic Costs of Congestion in the East Midlands –ATKINS – May 2007)
Current State VSM for Patient Journey: Shortness of Breath
Lead Time = 11,055 minsProcess Time = 94 mins
NHS Congestion Costs• Short term / unplanned
– Agency / locum– Unplanned capacity– Outliers & lost surgical activity (income)
• Long term / planned– Administrative systems (inc Medical Records)– Consumables – drugs; medical supplies;
catering; paper– Management capacity
Counting the cost – futures
• Pathway focus• Patient level focus• Lesson from private sector
– “…taken aback by the level of precision, not just in the engineering process but also in the approach to costing. …impressed with the desire of production people to look at every opportunity to reduce costs…” (HealthcareFinance – Oct’07)
Counting the cost – futures
• Patient Level Costing & Lean @ Caerphilly– Patient focus– Pathway / Value stream based– Engagement with front-line– Detail, detail – “…the devil is in the detail but
– so is the answer….”– Charge-out from service departments– Reconciliation to budgets
