Webinar: Beyond the Data: Building a Lean Foundation for Supply Chain Success

Join BlueBin for AHMMA’s June Educational Webinar, Beyond the Data: Building a Lean Foundation for Supply Chain Success

In an era obsessed with data, hospitals often overlook the critical first step: building a stable operational foundation. This webinar will challenge the notion that more analytics alone lead to better supply chain performance. The truth? You can’t optimize what you haven’t stabilized.

Join us as we explore how to move from reactive firefighting—dealing with stock-outs, backorders, expired products, and staffing chaos—to a proactive, high-performing supply chain rooted in Lean principles. Learn how standard work, Gemba audits, and the DMAIC framework expose hidden forms of waste and unlock sustainable improvements that data alone can’t deliver.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Understand why a stable operational foundation is essential before leveraging analytics.
• Identify types of waste beyond just product (time, motion, overprocessing, etc.).
• Learn how to implement standard work and Gemba audits to drive sustainable improvements.
• Explore how Lean frameworks like DMAIC shift your team from reactive to proactive.
• See real-world examples of how hospitals have reduced waste and improved resilience through Lean transformation.
