What a fantastic start to our fall schedule! Those of you who joined us at Sechan Electronics in Lititz last month were treated to a plant tour that was very informative and enjoyable. Thank you to all who were involved in organizing the tour. Having the tour progress through the workstations and being met by tour guides who represented their own areas of work was a nice touch that provided us a lot of information and encouraged discussions. Well done! This month, Brittany Hagedorn will be joining us to present Simulation; taking “Lean Thinking” to the next level. We’ll hear about how to use computer-­‐aided simulation to enhance lean approaches. This is particularly interesting to me because Brittany is the President of a consulting firm, specializing in health and social services. I’m familiar with using simulations to identify opportunities in manufacturing environments. However, hearing how simulation has successfully been applied in other industries is intriguing.

It is about more than specific tools and techniques. It is a fundamental philosophy, dedicated to continuous improvement. As a philosophy, Lean has been very successful in manufacturing and industry, and it is rapidly being adopted throughout healthcare. So, should we declare success and move on? Not at all. If we have truly adopted Lean thinking, then we must continue to improve not only our processes, but also our tools, our approach, and ourselves. As improvement practitioners, we run pilots to test our solutions, engage stakeholders to ensure adoption, and monitor process performance over time. Lean thinking tells us that we should strive to improve even these approaches, and computer-­‐aided simulation is one way to do so. This presentation will demonstrate computer-­‐
aided simulation, identify opportunities to incorporate simulation into Lean practice, discuss trade-­‐offs associated with its use, and share lessons learned in the field. Who: Brittany Hagedorn Brittany Hagedorn, LEED AP, CSSBB, is the Healthcare Lead for North American for SIMUL8 Corporation. She is also the President of Bonsai RG Inc., a consulting firm providing performance improvement to health and social services. Brittany is also the Board President for the non-­‐profit Project MEGSSS, which offers advanced mathematics for high-­‐
potential middle school students.
