My healthcare organization has been on its lean journey for about 4 years now. They actually started it with VSM or, based on this model plane kaizen. We have then gone backward and have been working on point kaizens utilizing A3s. As we now progress we have now found that frequently one A3 will spawn another A3 down the stream. And, yes we have actually now encountered A3’s feeding into and from a VSM.

My question is now how do we progress from planar kaizens to a cube? We are currently working on utilizing hoshin from the top down and bottom up and, are just now initiating training on lean management systems utilizing huddling on a regular basis around a metrics board.
