How To Train Hospital Management In Reducing Inventory Cost With Lean Canvas

In this article, we introduce an inventory cost reduction technique for hospital using lean canvas. With this technique, we show that it is possible to train management in implementing this method effectively. We believe that a proper training implementation can improve lean canvas skill in reducing the inventory cost, which in turn increase financial output of the hospital as well as promote a unique value proposition for the customers.
