Healthcare Chief Executive Officer
Dear Healthcare CEO:
Use Tools of the Toyota Production System
Toyota averages about $280,000 net profit per employee. They have a culture of winning. Toyota cars achieved the top 10 of 15 spots of cars that have traveled 150,000 miles and had one owner over 15 years.
Seek Healthcare System Perfection
- Certainly, march towards perfection at a rate of 11 ideas a year by each employee,
- Subsequently, all these ideas move you in management defined direction,
- Toyota will not expand to a new plant unless they have a critical mass of employees that know this procedure,
- no competitor will ever catch Toyota, and
- Your culture changes to one of winning.
Implement Pull wherever possible to increase process speed and adopt Lean Six Sigma to:
- Above all, increase process velocity,
- Decrease process costs, and
- Lastly, improve process quality.
