Purpose The aims of this paper are to illustrate the use of Lean tools to reduce inpatient waiting time and to evaluate critical success factors of Lean implementation in an inpatient pharmacy in a Thai public hospital. Design/methodology/approach This study was carried out through action research methodology by following four key phases: identification of problems; planning action; taking action; and evaluation. In the “taking action” phase, Lean tools, including value stream mapping and 5S were implemented to improve dispensing process in an inpatient pharmacy. In the “evaluation phase”, the critical success factors of Lean implementation in an inpatient pharmacy were evaluated by the participants. Findings Lean methodology was successfully implemented to reduce the waiting time associated with a three days dose distribution system. As a result of Lean application, the average process time reduced from 8.81 to 7.2 min and the standard deviation reduced from 5.49 to 4.45 min. Moreover, the support of middle management and the leadership were the key success factors of Lean implementation in an inpatient pharmacy. Practical implications Hospitals can improve the dispensing process by using Lean tools which are easy to apply and use. This study is appropriate for hospital managers looking for changes in pharmacy services or other departments. Originality/value This is the first study that has applied Lean tools to improve the dispensing process in an inpatient pharmacy in Thai hospitals. This study offers important insights into the critical success factors of Lean employment in the inpatient pharmacy.

The Impact

This preliminary study attempts to link among the critical success factors on overall project success in public sector organizations in Pakistan.  In this study it’s reflected that major critical success factors (soundness of Business & workforce, planning & control, quality performance and past performance) can enhance the success of the project in Pakistan.  The purpose of this preliminary study was to verify the reliability of the survey instrument which has been used in European countries. It was found that the planning & control was the highest Cronbach Alpha value, while the ranged for each constructs in the present study from 0.68 to 0.88.  Therefore, based on the Cronbach alpha value score, the proposed survey instrument has fulfilled the basic requirement of a valid instrument.
