The study aimed to conduct a cost-value analysis of the production process of a newly introduced batch of external doors in the context of value-added creation and to identify redundant processes that do not create added value and for which appropriate corrective actions could contribute to their elimination. The result of applying improvement actions following the lean management concept was the optimization time nationalized analyzed by eliminating, among others, operations related to unnecessary transport and storage of products. In addition, the optimization production process impacted both shortening the process implementation time and reducing the costs of its implementation. Further activities will be related to the use of the presented methodology to analyze the processes implemented in the company in order to increase their efficiency.

Lean management is a work philosophy of continuous improvement to achieve a smooth work flow by minimizing all kinds of waste including time, cost and manpower. The concept of lean management started as early as 1980’s and was soon adopted by production industry. However, incorporation of this concept in healthcare has been very gradual and hesitant, though lean heath care has immense potential to improve operational performance. A clinical laboratory, which is essential in practice of evidence-based medicine, can be efficiently managed using lean management concept. Only a few publications in English literature have studied the effect of implementation of lean management in a clinical laboratory. There are certain challenges that a health care manager is likely to face in the implementation of lean management in clinical laboratory especially in developing nations. The present review discusses the implementation of lean management in a clinical laboratory with identification of various steps which require lean thinking.

The paper presents the experience of implementing selected instruments of the Lean concept at a steel works. The functioning of an enterprises in the currently prevailing conditions, i.e. in a turbulent environment, results in increased customer requirements. They expect, among other things, high quality of steel products delivered on time at a low price. Many organizations decide to implement the lean management concept without proper preparation. The purpose of this paper is to present the limitations occurring during the implementation of the lean management concept in a steel mill.

AbstractThe article presents the issues of product safety management in enterprises managed in accordance with the Lean Management concept. The Lean Management concept is aimed at limiting or even completely excluding all forms of waste by intensifying and stimulating continuous improvement. One of the ways to reduce waste is to minimize waste and production shortages that arise due to failures in meeting the product safety requirements, quality criteria for a specific product. In addition, good practices in product safety in Lean organizations will be shown, which show the care for the safety of the products offered. On the basis of research, the following will be presented in the article: a general approach to product safety and detection of production deficiencies, as well as the autor’s original proposal for a system ensuring the safety of manufactured products.

Summary Lean Management is a philosophy and management concept, based on reduction of the waste and resources used in the process of producing goods and providing services. Lean Management genesis dates back to scientific management in America (for example concepts of H. Ford and F.W. Taylor) and quality management, including development of TQM concept. Japanese Toyota Production System has been inspired by chosen elements of these concepts, and then it evolved towards global concept called Toyota Way (which connects production rules with values and work attitude). TPS is considered to be a major precursor of lean manufacturing and now more widely – Lean Management. LM is a broader set of organisational and management tools, formed mainly by the Japanese culture, but also subjected to the Western influences in the field of organisation and management (Jakonis 2011, Parkes 2014).

Presentation of proposals implementing the concept of lean management in high school is the purpose of this article. The publication underlines the essence of Lean concept, which boils down to the effective management of available resources, without unnecessary waste – in accordance with Kaizen’s continuous improvement philosophy. The studies carried out included analysis of the organizational structure of selected university, its functional are¬as, management functions, number of employees, range of management, as well as tasks of individual cells and responsibilities at selected positions. Author recommends selected Lean tools in the office and service processes implemented by chosen university. Proposals for im¬plementation of selected tools concern organizational units such as: Department of Teaching and Student Affairs, Department of Human Resources and Staff, Financial Department and institutes. The author points universality and usefulness of the Lean concept, which was pro¬perly implemented and executed by the university could bring beneficial changes in the form of time savings as well as rationalization and greater efficiency of processes.
