Lean Enterprise Institute and OmniGuide Form a Co-learning Partnership for Lean Management Research
The nonprofit Lean Enterprise Institute (LEI) today announced support for its research into lean management transformations from OmniGuide, a leader in the development and manufacture of ultra-high-precision CO2 lasers for minimally invasive and robotically-assisted surgery.
“We are proud and excited to be working in a collaborative partnership with an innovative leader like OmniGuide,” said John Shook, LEI Chairman and CEO. “Together we will conduct action research into the lean management and operational models that support OmniGuide’s ambitious growth and technology objectives.”
Raising the Continuous Improvement Bar
"Every day our customers demand enhanced performance and seamless integration into their operating environment, along with helping them control the cost of technology adoption,” said Scott Flora, OmniGuide President and CEO.
“For that reason we are committed to a key aspect of our Quality Policy -- we are accountable to drive continuous improvement in the work we perform and ensure quality in the products and services we deliver to meet the needs of our customers. We feel strongly that by partnering with the Lean Enterprise Institute we can raise the bar in continuous improvement and bring our team new skills so we can continue on our journey of building a learning organization".
In microsurgery, laparoscopy and robotic procedures, OmniGuide systems deliver CO2 laser energy through unique flexible optical fibers that allow surgeons to remove difficult-to-reach tumors in less time, with lower risk of complications, and less chance of damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
