Multi-Site Process Management System





Design & implement a multi-site process management system (Infrastructure,improvement cycle process,communication templates, etc.) to enable an organization to rapidly improve, standardize and deploy new or revised processes consistently throughout all practices/sites/facilities.


This Pillar Design & with implementation is typically 8-12 weeks based on level of support from organization – and assuming appropriate technology support systems (conf call system GoTo Meeting etc.) are in place.
Organization to assign a process “owner” to maintain system once implemented.



Internal Organizational Assessment

Simulation Kits



Go See | Go Do



Bead Simulation Kit





Lean Production Systems Simulations objective is to demonstrate the effects of “Batch” vs. “Lean” Systems and Practice Problem Solving by using pipe cleaners and beads to illustrate the production line, continuum of care or life cycle of a service.


This hands on approach enables learners to:

  • Learn how to see waste
  • Problem Solve using PDCA Methodology
  • Utilize an A3 Template format
    • Quantify the Current State
    • Perform Root cause Analysis on symptoms
    • Trystorm Countermeasures
    • Following up on Future State

Experience what it means to be in a Kaizen setting the process, the teamwork, the feeling.Benefits of Lean Systems vs Batch & Queue from a technical cell design aspect to Respect for People.


Kit includes:

  • Electronic copy of Lean Fundamental Overview Immersion Training
  • Beads & Pipe-cleaners
  • Templates
  • Instruction Guide

Recommended # of learners: 16-21



Dice Simulation Kit





This Dice Operation Simulation illustrate the effect of variation & dependent events on throughput,. All systems are exposed to variation & dependent events – regardless of product, process, customer. This will allow the learners in a fun and practical way of rolling dice, to improve performance by:

  • Eliminate sources of variability
  • Eliminate the # of dependent events

Learner will learn alternative ways then traditionally buffering sources of variation with capacity, lead time & inventory and to consider reducing it by more effective Lean approach's like Standard Work, Total Productive Maintenance, Mistake-proofing.


Kit includes:

  • Electronic copy of Simulation Training
  • Beads & Pipe-cleaners
  • Templates
  • Instruction Guide

Recommended # of learners: 16-60
