Optimising theatre utilisation through Lean Six Sigma: A model for sustainable theatre utilisation improvement

This project shows that combining Lean Six Sigma methodology with advanced statistical analysis can deliver measurable improvements in theatre utilisation. The findings challenged long-held assumptions about the causes of inefficiency and highlight the importance of optimising scheduling processes and pre-assessment capacity. The model offers a transferable, scalable approach for other units aiming to enhance theatre efficiency and achieve sustainable operational improvements.
