Thanks to Bill Hanover for sending the above article. The WSJ also had an article about hospitals learning from Ferrari pit crews (free version of the article here).
Going back a ways, here is a good “Pit Crew Kaizen” article from the Gemba Pantarei Blog.
Although the first articles don't mention lean, there are good examples and lessons about standard work, practicing, and teamwork — not just going faster, but preventing errors (the most important goal for hospitals).
