What’s in this Course

11 Video Modules

In this course, which was filmed in front of a live audience, Mike Wroblewski a senior consultant for the Kaizen Institute, discusses 3P (Production Preparation Process) as it relates to the design of a new healthcare facility such as a hospital.

Throughout the course Mike explains what the 3P process is and how to go about it including topics such as "moonshining" and how to construct "mock-ups" before breaking ground.

And while the focus of this course is healthcare the concepts taught can be easily applied to any industry or type of work.
