Amnis, the quality, innovation and productivity enabler, has announced a collaborative training programme with The Institute of Operations Management (IOM), an executive arm of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) and the professional organisation for operational management professionals.

Healthcare organisations – including hospitals – are giving up too soon on ‘Lean’ based improvement initiatives, according to specialist healthcare quality, innovation and productivity improvement enabler, Amnis.

Amnis are delighted to announce a further Accelerated Lean Skills Programme to be run in partnership with the Institute of Operations Management and the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport. The programme will run from the 29th September till the 1st October 2009 and is open to employees of private organisations (not consultancies) and public bodies.

Theatres are the engine room of a hospital.
 
Continuously improving theatre performance means a continually improving hospital performance.
 
Recognising that effective theatres is more than just about productivity, Amnis and our partners at DNV and Terema have developed a multi-disciplinary and multi-professional approach to transforming theatre performance.
 

Amnis will be leading a session on 'Lean Thinking for Managers' on the 15th May as part of the Institute of Healthcare Management's 'Managing for Quality Improvement' Conference.

With less than 1 month to go before the next open 'Accelerated Lean Skills Programme'! Combining expert training with hands-on exercises in an exciting and lively environment, the ALSP delivers real knowledge and real improvement in your organisation.
 
Participants are invited from the NHS, Private Healthcare and other public organisations and the programme covers 3 days of training and a short project afterwards. The dates of the next programme are 24th-26th Feb 2009 and the programme will be held in Oxford.

Following its launch last year and its Innovation Award, Leanpad goes from strength to strength with a number of healthcare organisations and consultancies already actively using this excellent and simple piece of software.
 
Used to convert basic and increasingly inflexible 'brown paper' process maps, current states and future states into easy to amend, add to and communicate electronic formats, Leanpad is a leading edge in the Lean Armoury.
