At Orlando Software Group we realize the pressures to reduce cost, while increasing Quality of Care and efficiency for Hospitals, HMO's and Insurance companies alike. Hospitals today face a great challenge. Reimbursement levels are declining, costs are climbing, and revenues are falling. The first reaction is to use traditional cost cutting methods. Hospitals have been forced to repeatedly implement cost cutting measures to stay profitable. Although these efforts may allow hospitals to keep pace with falling revenues and climbing costs, traditional cost cutting is not sufficient to get ahead of this cycle. We strive to assist your organization by utilizing Lean concepts that maintain standards of care while focusing on cost-benefit analysis and ROI of Lean Transformations.

At Abbott Laboratories, Orlando Software Group was asked to map the manufacturing process of Biaxin XL, their most popular antibiotic. The manufacture of pharmaceuticals is a complex undertaking, but from raw materials to finished product to distribution & delivery, LeanView™ was able to quickly, efficiently and cost effectively map both high level processes and drill down through multiple sub-levels to provide in-depth analysis of the pharmaceutical manufacturing process. Users were able to easily analyze processes at the high level or optionally include lower level processes in the analysis to get detailed information. The inclusion of the Return on Key Assets financial data allowed plant managers and financial analyists to predict, track and document improvement savings. The experience at Abbott Laboratories will ensure that their facilities will be able to better meet customer demand while reducing waste, providing higher quality products and lowering costs.

A leading healthcare provider, engaged Orlando Software Group to perform lean analysis on one of it's major Open Heart Surgery facilities. Utilizing LeanView™, we were able to successfully map the entire open heart surgery process from pre-admittance to discharge, encompassing hundreds of high level processes. Using LeanView's unique capabilities, we were then able to create sub-level maps and analysis on areas such as admitting, finance, sterilization, laboratory & pharmacy orders, and equipment repair which, in and of themselves, have multiple sub-processes. LeanView's powerful sub-process linking capabilities not only gave surgeons and administration the ability, for the first time, to visualize the entire process from beginning to end, but allowed the team to perform roll up analysis to include sub-process performance on the entire value stream and, quickly and easily, identify areas of improvement opportunity. As a result, open heart surgery performance at the facility can be dramatically improved, thus providing substantial savings, improved quality of care and increased customer satisfaction.

For those organizations who have lean initiatives and wish to include LeanView™ Value Stream Mapping and Analysis and Lean Accounting Software into their organization to reduce the time it takes to make a lean transformation as well as create scalable, sharable Value Stream Maps and documentation, the Orlando Software Group is able to cost-effectively supply our software and, as needed, train your team in a single day. LeanView's easy-to-use interface allows even the most novice computer users to begin creating Value Stream Maps and producing professional, comprehensive analysis data by the end of the training session.

For those organizations who need assistance with their lean initiatives, the Orlando Software Group can provide assistance at Value Stream Mapping events to ensure that data and processes are captured and documented accurately for future reference and comparison. Working closely with team members from your organization we study the current state of the organization, mapping it out visually to highlight opportunities. We then assist the leadership in developing a future state process that maximize value for the organization. The highest impact areas are identified and objectives outlined.

Partnering with world-class Lean transformation organizations and consultants, along with the most effective software and managerial tools, we are able to save organizations between 30 to 70% through Lean Initiatives. Unlike other solutions, LeanView™ is able to track financial savings from Lean Initiatives, thereby giving administration the ability to accurately estimate project savings from Lean Initiatives prior to investing in improvements, as well as track actual savings as initiatives progress, utilizing a documentation process that complies with Sarbanes-Oxley reporting requirements.
