The results consist in a reduction  in lead times and their variability, easy planning, patient response and higher reliability of supply services issuing times, easing the hospital itinerary.

Stop the unproductive activities that burden nursery workers. More motivated workers, happier patients!

By eliminating non value added activities and reducing the time of those with no value added, but which are in any case necessary, the outcome is a system able to provide the best possible service for patients.

Supporting strategic and operative choices aimed at costs, standard costs, analysis, and costs centre innovative management, KanbanBOX becomes the indispensable tool for doctors, operators, administrative executives, health authorities and health trust accountants and managers; health authorities and health trust managers, health authorities, private and public hospitals, diagnostic centres, polyclinics and care homes.

Thanks to the standardisation of  non-value added activities, workers’ work quality  increases significantly, increasing the focus on core activities, creating satisfaction and motivation. The outcome is a virtuous reconstruction of  different health productive process moments according to the patient itinerary.
