Paper Inventory Management: A Lean Approach
After years of inefficient visual monitoring of paper supplies, this in-plant developed a Lean approach to inventory management.
One of the best features of Lean is its low-cost approach to quality improvement. Lean philosophy forces you to come up with affordable solutions and avoid purchasing expensive equipment or implementing costly systems to tackle performance or quality issues. As a government-funded health care organization, we have embraced Lean for this very reason.
Carmin Cristofaro is consultant in process improvement. He was previously in charge of the in-plant at McGill University Health Center in Montreal.
