Abstract
The purpose of the Toyota Production System (TPS) Lean 5S methodology project is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness in a process by eliminating identified process waste of (1) defects (errors), (2) overproduction, (3) waiting, (4) confusion, (5) motion/travel, (6) excess inventory, (7) overprocessing, and (8) human potential. The specific aim of this quality improvement project was to evaluate the impact of the TPS 5S tool process, a problem-solving, space-organizing tool, on distractions and interruptions in the neurosurgery operating room (OR) workflow with a goal to decrease neurosurgery craniotomy infection rates in a neurosurgery OR suite within a 3-month period.Entities:
