Did You Know...?
That Value Analysis Was Developed Back In the 1940's After World War II as a Way to Find Lower Cost but Higher Quality Alternative products and methods. This was Due to the Lack of Material Resources At The End of The War.

Too Many Competing Priorities
Greetings,
One thing I have noticed lately is that healthcare organizations have too many competing priorities to keep on track, on budget and on target.
We see this phenomenon with our LEAN Value Analysis Program that we are installing at our clients’ facilities. Once we arrive on the scene, we immediately find that we are competing for time, money and resources with Six Sigma, Quality Excellence, LEAN Management and other initiatives that are also of a HIGH PRIORITY.
With so many competing priorities, how do you and we make our project deadlines, achieve our savings and quality goals and at the same time effectively balance our limited resources across multiple projects?
In brief, the answer is to sharpen your PROJECT MANAGEMENT skills. Project management isn’t just a buzz word; it is a body of knowledge honed over many years that will give you the techniques, tools and tactics that will enable you to build a solid foundation to manage any and all project lifecycles that you are faced in healthcare today.
Just the other day a client told me that one of the most effective project management tactics that he had found was to automate his project management process. Before he had done this, he said he had hundreds of projects that he didn’t know the status of, but now with two clicks of his mouse he can see the progress on all of his projects at one time. He now tells me that he can finally sleep at night without worrying that his projects aren’t on time and on budget.
I can promise you that your hospital, system or IDN won’t be slowing down any time soon on their multi-projects with competing priorities. Therefore, you will need to find ways to increase your efficiency and effectiveness on the multi-projects that your management assigns to you and your supply chain team. Project management is the answer!
