If this is the case, it is likely that change evolves through multiple small feedback loops (a small behavior change generated through use of a particular Lean tool generates a small attitudinal change amongst participants, which provides a more enabling context for a next behavior change which enables some further attitudinal change, and so on).
It further proposes that providing leaders with training in the use of all Lean tools will allow them not only to choose the right tool for the job, but also to use multiple tools simultaneously to generate quality improvement synergies.
(D-02) Implications for Future Research: Lean program theory proposes that use of a common set of Lean tools will ensure consistent quality improvement processes and practices across the province, which will in turn generate distributed quality improvement knowledge, thereby generating improved decision-making ultimately leading to better quality of care.
While it's hard to imagine Beard feeling anything but adoration for pork bellies, his recommendation for carnitas was to use a lean cut of meat, which bellies are decidedly not.
The absence of combustion allows MDI to use a lean aluminum engine casing.
Profits at the company sank in the face of rising commodity prices and an industrywide "pink slime" scare over the use of boneless lean beef trimmings.
This enables the use of extremely lean air fuel mixtures, thereby reducing fuel consumption.
Binary-level partitioning even opens the door for dynamic partitioning, wherein on-chip tools transparently move software regions to FPGA coprocessors, making use of new lean, just-in-time compilers for FPGAs.
The use of the Lean method, in the management of hip fracture patients, significantly reduced waste and overall mortality and improved patient flow from admission to discharge [ 11].
The use of smoky coal from an unknown source results in the highest GMR for BaP, FLT and CHR (3.42, 5.38, and 6.16 respectively) while the use of meagre lean coal resulted in the highest GMR for NAP (1.93).
The use of the Lean and Six Sigma methods also substantially improved Operating Room (OR) efficiency, in terms of on-time starts and a reduction in the number of cases past 5pm; as well as significant gains in non-operative time, staff overtime, and ORs saved [ 13].
