“…The tools used converge to identify flows, map activities and their value in time, search for losses, and produce activities with greater value, less consumption, and less waste, using the same human resources and settings 18 . This strategy is widely applied in various organizations and its goals involve process improvements, as seen in studies in the textile and furniture industries [19][20] .…”

Objective: to describe the implementation of the Lean Methodology in an emergency department and its contribution to sustainable and quality management. Method: this is a methodological study carried out between October 2018 and January 2022 in the adult emergency department of a public university hospital in southern Brazil, analyzing the results before and after the implementation of the Lean Methodology. The study followed the model and standards adopted by the Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence 2.0 (SQUIRE) for the description of improvement cycle standards. Results: with the implementation of this methodology, actions were developed, such as innovations in work routines, both care and management, changes in patient reception with risk classification, construction of units for patient care and allocation, daily interdisciplinary meetings (huddle), full contingency plan, hospital discharge routines, external transfers, changes in the communication process with users and professionals, among other actions. Conclusion: the use of the Lean Methodology has resulted in a reduction in occupancy, which has helped to optimize health resources and ensure quality care and management practices. This reduction is believed to be proof of sustainable management in health services and contributes to reducing socio-economic inequalities.

“…From lean philosophy perspective, this effort is compared with significant research work related to FL redesign, which involves a case study of textile industry [31]. it is difficult to compare different scenarios, but it can refer to some important indications; hence, the new design reduces the cycle time to (45%, 44%, and 58%) respectively, considering the efficient process plans, while the research mentioned above reduces the cycle time to (46% and 34%), which is not considered the enhancement of process plan concurrently.…”

Automation of logistics and production processes is one of the significant goals of the Industry 4.0 movement. Thus, this study uses the automatic data acquisition approach to automatically create Spaghetti Charts (SC), decrease the required time spent on collecting data, and provide a fast analysis (feedback). Smartphone technology used for drawing the automated spaghetti diagram has potential drawbacks related to safety, security, the privacy of organizations, and independency. So, Method Time Measurement 4.0 and RStudio software are used to collect the real data and draw the spaghetti chart, respectively, as an alternative solution. The experiment results for four scenarios (different Facility layouts and processes) prove that the approach is competitive, with cycle time reduction exceeding 40% less than the conventional facility layout and process plan. The proposed solution of the wearable device is promising for replacing smartphone technology with smart spaghetti chart systems.

This article aims to verify the technological feasibility of installing a workshop for the production of typical caporal costumes based on the Cellular Manufacturing methodology. By taking samples of times used in the production process, the standard times of each activity were obtained considering constant and variable supplements resulting from the different conditions to which the operators are exposed. It was determined that, under the chosen methodology, the process needs 6 operators and 8 machines to cover the projected demand of 897 suits per month, with a production capacity of 17.89 suits per day. Finally, a u-shaped distribution of the workshop was proposed, which maintains a constant flow within the process and allows exploiting the versatility of the workers.
