“…These results are exactly in line with the case study results obtained by Wong et al (2014), in respect to Malaysian semiconductor manufacturing, by assessing the leanness level using an integrated leanness index considering performance determinants, and obtained weighting for on-time delivery (0.658), quality (0.253) and cost (0.089). Table 10 suggests that reduced emission is the most important criterion in understanding the green performance of the organization, while solid waste reduction receives least weighting.…”

“…Leanness level of the company can be evaluated using performance determinants (criteria) like cost reduction, quality improvement, cycle time reduction, and improved delivery performance (Wong et al, 2014;Shah and Ward, 2003). The success of the efforts made to improve leanness level of the organization can be measured through its impact on the above-mentioned performance determinants, and so they are kept at the first level of the hierarchical tree.…”

“…Many researchers have contributed under the umbrella of "lean performance or leanness" (Almomani et al, 2014;Pakdil and Leonard, 2014;Wong et al, 2014;Vinodh and Balaji, 2011;Singh et al, 2010) and "green/environmental performance or greenness" (Salem and Deif, 2014;Rehman and Shrivastava, 2013), but only a few have analyzed both issues simultaneously (for example, Galeazzo et al, 2014;Verrier et al, 2014;Duarte and CruzMachado, 2013;Diaz-Elsayed et al, 2013). For instance, some studies have investigated the synergy between lean practices and environmental performance King and Lenox, 2001;Maxwell et al, 1998) while others have focused on the link between lean and green implementation (Bergmiller and McCright, 2009;Dües et al, 2013;Hajmohammad et al, 2013).…”

“…In any situation where wastes are supposed to appear and efficiency is needed to be increased, lean is a great scope to make things better, faster and cheaper. Because of that, lean concept is considered universal since it is applies to many fields (Wong et al, 2014).…”

Structured Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this research is to study the effect of the implementation of lean bundles on hospital performance in private hospitals in Jordan and evaluate how much the size of organization can affect the relationship between lean bundles implementation and hospital performance. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research is considered as quantitative method (descriptive and hypothesis testing). Three statistical techniques were adopted to analyse the data. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) techniques and multi-group analysis were used to examine the research's hypothesis, and to perform the required statistical analysis of the data from the survey. Reliability analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to test the construct validity, reliability, and measurement loadings that were performed. Findings: Lean bundles have been identified as an effective approach that can dramatically improve the organizational performance of private hospitals in Jordan. Main lean bundles-Just In Time, Human Resource Management, and Total Quality Management are applicable to large, small and medium hospitals without significant differences in advantages that depend on size. Original/Value: According to the researchers' best knowledge, this is the first research that studies the impact of lean bundles implementation in healthcare sector in Jordan. This research also makes a significant contribution for decision makers in health care to increase their awareness of lean bundles.

“…One important factor for promoting this reduction is the implementation of standardized procedures that, once defined, will guarantee the correct and successful use of maintenance resources [17]. Besides, it is imperative to use appropriate performance indexes aligned to the maintenance strategy [18][19][20].…”

Lean Maintenance Applied to Improve Maintenance Efficiency in Thermoelectric Power Plants

Thermoelectric power plants consist of a set of critical equipment that require high levels of availability and reliability. Due to this, maintenance of these physical assets is gaining momentum in industry. Maintenance is considered as an activity that contributes to improving the availability, efficiency and productivity of each piece of equipment. Several techniques have been used to achieve greater efficiencies in maintenance, among which we can find the lean maintenance philosophy. Despite the wide diffusion of lean maintenance, there is no structured method that supports the prescription of lean tools applied to the maintenance function. This paper presents the experience gathered in two lean maintenance projects in thermoelectric power plants. The application of lean techniques was based on using a previously developed multicriterial decision making process that uses the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology to carry out a diagnosis and prescription tasks. That methodology allowed the prescription of the appropriated lean techniques to resolve the main deficiencies in maintenance function. The results of applying such lean tools show that important results can be obtained, making the maintenance function in thermoelectric power plants more efficient and lean.
