Program Description
The Program builds core competencies in Lean principles, best practices, and methods as they are generally employed in Healthcare. The course also extends knowledge of the development and history of lean thinking from the modern through contemporary periods. Lean and six-sigma-related vocabulary, e.g. muda, kaizen, is integrated with traditional quality system concepts such as value stream mapping. AMU leadership has taught lean and six sigma programs since 1995, and has evolved a framework of essential “lean” tools which are introduced in this course and used throughout the Certificate in Health Systems Management (CHSM). Classes are blended through on campus sessions, weekly online meetings, and continuous electronic exchanges between faculty and students.
