Array Architects Advances Lean Healthcare Design With New Six Sigma Belts
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) July 24, 2014 -- Array Architects understands and is committed to implementing Lean Design strategies for all healthcare clients. By committing resources to Lean and Six Sigma staff training and certification, Array continually strives to be a thought leader in improving efficiency and value to healthcare clients’ projects.
Each year, Array brings staff together with clients and offers week-long training courses and encourages staff and clients to earn their Lean Green Belts. Including the clients in Lean training sessions is important as they add greatly to the intense discussions and group learning that develops during and after training. Array currently has eight staff members who have earned their Lean Green Belt certification and three who have taken the next step and earned either their Six Sigma Green or Black Belts. According to Lean/Six Sigma Black Belt, Kent Doss, "The strategies and tools employed in Lean Design are finely tuned to increase efficiencies in the conceptualization and execution of procedural operations. As healthcare designers, we have come to rely on direct observation (i.e. “shadowing”) of caregivers, support staff and patients as they go about their daily routines or specific processes so that we can design spaces that account for their needs from an holistic perspective."
