“…The lean concept is used in all industries and is gradually expanding into nonproduction areas of the economy, e.g. healthcare or government (Radnor et al, 2012;Dickson et al, 2009;Habidin, 2017;Schonberger, 2018;Štefko et al, 2016;Zhu & Wang, 2014). It is also used in non-industrial manufacturing plantse.g.…”

Increasing competition, both at the global and local levels, shortening product life cycle, and strengthening customer's position are only some of the factors currently affecting the viability of businesses. To stay at a market, retain old and gain new customers businesses are constantly looking for new ways to improve. One of the possibilities to improve is the lean concept. This concept offers the ways to find the points with waste and eliminate them. The main objective of this research is to analyze the extent of lean methods' use in Central Eastern European countries-Czech and Slovak Republics. Two surveys were carried out independently of each other between 2013 and 2017. The purpose of the researchers was to determine the extent of the selected industrial engineering methods' use in both these countries through an online questionnaire survey. In general, the analyzed methods are more often implemented by businesses in Czech Republic, but the results also suggest that some of the analyzed methods are not implemented in these countries equally. E.g., Kaizen or 5S method are the methods more typical for the industrial companies in Czech Republic. On the other hand, for example, the Total Quality Management did not reveal statistically significant differences in the implementation by companies in Czech and Slovak Republics.

“…Other than financial factors, customer and internal business process performance become the priority in measuring the performance in healthcare industry (Habidin, 2017;Norazlan et al, 2014;Roslan et al, 2014;Ali et al, 2013;Jamaludin et al, 2013 Thus, the performance assessment of various financial and non-financial factors from the perspective of LH is required in the healthcare industry to help forming strategic decisions on either the short or long term agendas. Therefore, to ensure the implementation of the lean operation to be applied in healthcare industries, it should be strategic, effective and not complex.…”

In current competitive business and modern work, organizational culture and Lean Healthcare (LH) is important to improve organizational performance in healthcare industry. Healthcare industry itself is moving forward toward preparing a cost and time efficient, morale, quality, and safety healthcare providers. Thus, the aim of this study is to develop a lean healthcare tool that incorporate lean healthcare practices, quality improvement effort and performance measure in Malaysian healthcare industry. This finding is to provide a lower cost of material, improve supply chain process, better service quality for customer, and Just in Time (JIT) services deliveries. This study also expect to eliminate healthcare waste and defects in many aspects of the healthcare operation, strengthening relationships with vendors, producing high quality products, and ultimately serve customers better than competitors. The development through lean healthcare tool will be conduct in Malaysia healthcare industry and will also be adopt to analyze the data gather from systems validation process. Further, the findings of the study are expects to provide a practical guideline for healthcare practitioner to enhance performance improvement and to provide tested lean healthcare system, quality improvement effort and performance improvement systems in healthcare industries through a tool. Development of lean healthcare tool will be test in this research. Hence, this research might be important to Malaysian Healthcare industry in improving performance improvement. As such, it is expected to benefit both researchers, practitioners, consultant and academic player.

Purpose Even though the implementation of lean in health care environments is relatively recent, it has been receiving a lot of attention in recent years. Partly because of the fact that it is a recent field of practise and research and partly because the number of works developed in this field has grown rapidly, it is important to frequently update the perspectives on this field of investigation. Thus, this study aims to review the implementation of lean tools and techniques applied to hospital organizational areas in a five-year period, between 2014 and 2018, complementing some of the most relevant reviews already published. The most important criteria such as tools, methods and principles, hospital areas intervened, improvements and difficulties were assessed and quantified. Design/methodology/approach As starting point for this systematic literature review (SLR), a set of selected pre-existing review publications was used to support the current study and as the ground base for the expansion of the studies about lean health care. The current study contemplated 114 articles from a five-year period between 2014 and 2018. A subset of 58 of these articles was critically assessed to understand the application of lean tools and methods in different hospital areas. Findings The thorough analysis of selected articles show a lack of works in continuous improvement approaches when compared to the application of production organization methods, visual management and diagnosing and problem-solving tools. The reported improvement results demonstrate alignment with the principles and foundations of lean philosophy, but such results are presented in isolated initiatives and without robust evidence of long-term maintenance. Moreover, this study shows an evolution in the number of articles referring to lean implementation in hospital areas, but in its great majority, such articles report isolated implementations in different areas, not spreading those for the global organization. Thus, some of the main recommendations are the need to implement studies on complete flows of patients, drugs and materials, instead of isolated initiatives and strive to promote the cultural change of hospitals through structural changes, following new visions and strategic objectives, supported by real models of continuous structural and sustained improvement. Originality/value The current study develops a new perspective of the articles published under the thematic of lean health care, published in a recent period of five years, which are not completely covered by other works. Additionally, it explicitly applied, in an innovative way, an approach that used a set of previous reviews as the starting point for this SLR. In this way, it integrates approaches and categories from different SLRs, creating a framework of analysis that can be used by future researchers. Finally, it shows the most recent implementations of lean health care, exposing the current trends, improvements and also the main gaps.
