I didn't realize the scope of the "model line" was 700 employees. That's amazing. I did some assessment work recently with a claims processing group and tried visualizing a lot of this, your pictures provide an outstanding model and example of what can be done with Lean in an administrative area.

Although the credit for putting the system together rest far more with the Model Line leadership team then it does with me. The team was jazzed to have a physician leader visiting the Gemba. I hope that our work and our learning's in the Model Line will continue to fuel innovation and improvement throughout the Coop. Come by any time for a free cup of coffee!
