Canadian Lean is bakin'

My virtual and occasionally in-person friend, Farhan Merali, (Harvard Medical School MD 2011 and Harvard Business School MBA 2011), sent along this link to an excellent introductory article from Healthcare Quarterly about application of Lean principles in the Canadian health care environment. It was prepared by Dr. Dante Morra and associates from the University of Toronto and Toronto General Hospital. As you will see, Lean principles and philosophy are independent of geographic setting.
