Applying 3P to Healthcare & Beyond

By Ron Pereira Updated on September 22nd, 2022

Gemba Academy’s 3P course (which stands for Production Preparation Process) demonstrates the application of this lean tool within the healthcare world.

Although the course has a healthcare focus, the 3P principles taught apply to any industry.

In the course you will learn:

  • The 3P process and how it fits with­in the big-pic­ture Lean method­ol­o­gy, whether you’re design­ing con­sumer prod­ucts, pro­duc­tion lines, or the blue­print for a new med­ical facility.
  • The crit­i­cal impor­tance of gain­ing a deep under­stand­ing of the cus­tomer before work­ing through the 3P process.
  • The Sev­en Flows of Health­care, basic 3P steps, and data col­lec­tion methods.
  • How to use Moon­shin­ing, Mock­ups, and Gap Analy­sis to find the best pos­si­ble design.
