Lean Response to COVID-19

▤ Summary

Here’s what that means for COVID-19: “Hi, I’m Jay Arthur, author of “Lean Six Sigma for Hospitals” and QI Macros [software]. “If you’ve ever done any Lean projects, you know pretty much if the process is this long {gestures}, with Value Stream Mapping and Spaghetti Diagramming, you can collapse that by maybe 75%, 80%, 90%. So COVID-19 is a variant of the original SARS so we know a lot about it, so it’s not like we have to relearn everything and invent new stuff all the time. So I think we’re going to see instead of it taking months and years to come up with a drug treatment program for COVID-19, I think we already have stuff and I think we’re going to see that come into being very quickly. “So I’m betting that we can collapse the cycle time to create a vaccine dramatically.
