Standardization as the Foundation for Healthcare Quality
Toyota Production System house has standardization work as one of its foundations. Without standardization, all of your nurses, technicians, physicians and administrative staff will perform tasks differently. This makes tracking the source of errors difficult.

Apply Kanban to Eliminate Kanban!
For decades, production has relied on the old principle mass production invented by Henry Ford where parts are being produced in batches and pushed to the market hoping for a customer to buy. Things are based on forecasting and sales were too optimistic. This system disconnects the factory from the customer. The factory is producing only to a forecast. The production at the supplying (assembly) process also called customer process is being regulated by a schedule.

PDCA does aim to improve the process, but if you have only improved the process without developing and teaching your people, you have put the process at risk of slipping back. People must be trained in the culture of continuous improvement so they can keep managing the process with the new method.

What Toyota Production System is Really About?
Many people don't understand the DNA
of the Toyota Production System and the core values of the Toyota Way. I have
seen many who think about TPS as a toolkit or lean manufacturing techniques
that have worked with Toyota because Toyota has a different process, a stable

TPS works only with the automotive industry.
