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, in partnership with Process Master (www.processmaster.com) are running an open workshop on the 21st July at the Institute of Mechanical Engineers to provide Lean Professionals from a wide range of sectors with an understanding of how they can effectively map their processes and then communicate them, edit them and update them, as well as attach documents, pictures and other important information.
 

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.
 
For more information download the brochure here or ring Ruth Bodman on 0870-446-1002.

Amnis are delighted to announce the next open programme of our popular Accelerated Lean Skills Programme (ALSP) in partnership with Hammersmith & Fulham PCT.
 
Over thirty healthcare organisations have benefited from the ALSP's exceptional training and practical advice in the last 12 months alone and it has helped them kick-start their improvement activities, or get flagging activities back on track.
 

Value Stream Mapping
 

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.
