Our Services We help clients deliver more efficient and effective care, stake a more competitive position in the market, and plan to ensure facilities embody their operational vision.
Strategic Planning We work with health systems to develop strategies that drive sustainable business models across the continuum of care. We help you reach consensus around strategy to supercharge your plan for the future.
Master Planning Master planning should not occur in a silo. We integrate strategy, operations, facility, and financial considerations in an iterative process to develop a master plan that can be implemented and provides the flexibility to accommodate future unknowns.
Pre-design Planning & Optimization Building a new facility is not always the right answer. Before you go down that path, we work with you to understand whether you are experiencing a physical issue, an operational issue, or both. We use lean methodologies and simulation modeling to analyze your workflows and pinpoint the root cause of your problem leading to a more focused investment of your capital dollars.
Lean Practitioner Training Array’s Lean Practitioner Course provides an overview of systems-thinking using the PDSA (Plan, Do, Study, Adjust) cycle as its framework for problem-solving. Participants will learn the history, philosophy, and principles of lean improvement. At the end of this three-day program, attendees will better understand how to identify waste in a process, uncover the root cause(s) of a problem, and formulate a countermeasure that considers the voice of the stakeholders. The Lean Practitioner Course is available as a certificate program if participants complete an improvement project following the class.
