Pasqua Hospital Emergency Department Kanban

- Travis Bell, a porter at Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region's Pasqua Hospital, describes how the busy, supply-dependent Emergency Department reorganized one of its supply rooms using kanban principles to establish control over its inventory. Supplies have been consolidated, labelled and placed in colour-coded bins, each with a permanent home. Kanbans, which are visual management tools in the form of cards or containers, signal when new supplies, parts or services are needed.
"We will be able to deliver more timely care because we won't have to go to the units to grab certain supplies. . . . If we do get everybody on board -- suppliers, vendors, all the units, all the staff -- there's no reason why we should ever run out of anything."
this is great, thank you !
Does anyone here have a good handbook about how to implement kanban? I am hopeless. Help me please

Give that book a try. Kanban is a basic concept but there's no "cookie cutter" way that will ensure kanban works in every scenario. It's up to you to determine which elements to use and how best to use them in your unique scenario. Another lean tool you'll want to use in implementing kanban is the PDCA cycle, or Plan, Do, Check, and Act. Look at your situation and evaluate the facts. Then make a Plan. Once you've thought out your plan well, implement it (Do). Check and monitor the situation for a period of time - likely several months - and see what's going well and what is not. When you find something not going well or something that you can improve, Act to make that change or adjustment. Kanban won't take root overnight and you might even fail a bit at first, just like this guy did. Focus on the outcome and use PDCA to keep things moving in the right direction. Best of luck Edson.

Sorry, Maxime. Unfortunately we don't have access to that information.
