For many healthcare organizations, space is at a premium. Especially when it comes to storing supplies that are necessary for patient care. Keeping them organized can also be difficult considering that a multitude of staff from a variety of departments require constant access. On this episode of Power Supply Hays Waldrop, Garry Skinner and Justin Poulin speak with Monique Albornoz, Principal at Clinical 5S Space Innovations to discuss how the 5S methodology within the lean framework can help your organization optimize the space you already have or design a new/renovated area with sustainability in mind.

On this week's re-release episode of Power Supply Articles On-the-Go, Bob Yokl makes the case for looking at the big picture and big wins available to your hospital Supply Chain team:

"Don't get bogged down researching special requests, or as I like to call it "trivia", when there are dozens of high-value savings targets that you should be working on. Running down these oddities might be fun to do, but it will limit the time available to you for more important work.

It's easy for us to get trapped in the "small ball" game, or things that we feel comfortable with, bring us gratification, and show some results. We must avoid this temptation at all costs if we are to play in the supply chain big leagues where no one wins the World Series by playing "small ball". We must always have our eye on..." #PowerSupply #Podcast #Education #SupplyChain #Healthcare #Purchasing #Contracting #ValueAnalysis
