“…Activities that do not add any value are also called as waste. Classifying waste in lean methodology comprises the following topics: (1) overproduction, which results in excess of products in stock; (2) over processing, a process that is too sophisticated to the detriment of simpler and more efficient approaches; (3) inventory: excess of stored products, which results in high cost; (4) movement: excessive movement of people; (5) transport: excess transport of goods or information, which causes an increase in time, effort and cost; (6) waiting: very long periods of inactivity of goods, information or people; (7) defects: errors in the information process, product quality problems or poor delivery performance and (8) waste of human talent: people are seen only as operators and not as process specialists [40].…”

Several health services have used lean healthcare to seek continuous improvement of their processes. Therefore, it is important to investigate the evidence available in the literature about the most used lean tools in the health area to review processes and the main results achieved by the researchers. As an integrative literature review methodology was used, it was conducted in five databases, using the descriptor “quality improvement” and the keyword “Lean Healthcare”. A total of 33 complete articles were selected for analysis. The most recurrent tools were: define, measure, analyze, improve and control (DMAIC); value stream map (VSM); suppliers, inputs, process, outputs, customers analysis (SIPOC), Ishikawa Diagram and 5S. Through the analysis of waste, different interventions were implemented and the main results achieved were reduction in times (processing, waiting, cycle and total), costs, workload and increase in the number of calls. The findings enabled the identification of the main lean tools used in the health area to achieve better results. In particular, we highlight recent studies that have explored the lean six sigma healthcare approach. The results, in addition to contributing to the literature, will also assist managers in choosing the best tool to achieve continuous improvement in hospitals and other health services.

“…However, to assimilate and embed tools that lead organizations to a lean operation is not a trivial task. In fact, many companies fail in this process [6,7]. The implementation of lean tools goes beyond its philosophy, requiring methodology.…”

“…(2019) and Jesemann et al. (2020) have noted that the relation between the implementation of lean manufacturing principles and it’s overall impact on environmental protection is still elusive and debatable ( Bhatt et al., 2020 ; Kafuku, 2019 ; Sadiq et al., 2021 ; Ünal and Bilget, 2020 ). Furthermore, it is a timeworn established fact that lean manufacturing principles are mainly focused on minimizing the ordeal of industrial waste ( de Oliveira et al., 2019 ; Mohan Prasad et al., 2020 ; Yang et al., 2015 ).…”

“…In recent past, many academicians (e.g. Becerra-Guevara et al., 2020 ; Cesar da Silva et al., 2021 ; Jasti and Kodali, 2016 ; Kafuku, 2019 ; Neves et al., 2018 ; Ünal and Bilget, 2020 ; Yin et al., 2021 ) have proposed the usefulness of lean manufacturing principles in the textile manufacturing industry. However, we argue that lean manufacturing principles are primarily grounded on the philosophy of maximizing productivity by minimizing the ordeal of industrial waste ( Botti et al., 2017 ; Cortez et al., 2020 ; Maia et al., 2019 ; Thomas et al., 2018 ).…”

Implementation of cleaner production practices (CPP), service quality (SQ) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) is often studied at organizational level. A number of studies on trio have reported it’s significant impact on overall organizational performance and profitability across the globe. However, not much is studied about the individual level micro influence of these constructs on employee engagement (EE), organizational pride (OP), organizational identification (OI) and “desire to have a significant impact through work” (DSIW). Therefore, this study presents a comprehensive framework for assessing the impact of the implementation of CPP, SQ and CSR on EE, OP, OI and DSIW. Data collected from 320 non-managerial staff members employed at a garments manufacturing company in Pakistan was analyzed using partial least square (PLS) approach. Findings revealed that the implementation of CPP, SQ and CSR plays an important role in shaping EE, OP, OI and DSIW in the garments manufacturing industry. Further, it is found that the implementation of CPP has a non-significant impact on SQ. Additionally, results of the importance-performance map analysis (IPMA) have also confirmed that the implementation of CPP at company level has shown a highest importance and performance amongst all the latent constructs proposed as predictors of DSIW in the garments manufacturing industry. These findings are a step forward and unique contribution of this study in the domain of CPP, SQ, CSR, EE, OP, OI and DSIW.

Purpose -The scientific significance of the study is reflected in explaining the impact and importance of spreading the culture of graceful production using the value flow map as an important way to achieve this in the production company, and the resulting result in eliminating waste and loss, identifying methods for improvement, spreading a culture of interest in the work environment and achieving sustainability.Design/methodology/approach -The proposed methodology that was implemented in the Karim Factory of the General Company for Food Products first, it analyzed the researcher and with the help of the production manager and the areas of waste and loss using the value flow map. Then they improved the specific problems. Originality/value -The proposed solutions greatly contributed to saving time and effortCarrying out the various production operations in Al-Qeshta Factory. The company agreed to implement the proposed solutions,which indicates that these proposed solutions are feasible and practical.Findings -The result was It showed savings in terms of effort, time and improvement of the production process.
