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.
When the two print shops of the McGill University Health Centre, in Montreal, Quebec, merged in September 2009 and relocated to an office building, we took the opportunity to do some housekeeping. An initial sorting of unnecessary and outdated supplies was done at the old locations and the rest was packed and shipped to the new location.
Carmin Cristofaro is consultant in process improvement. He was previously in charge of the in-plant at McGill University Health Center in Montreal.
