Lean “slim” is a management method that increases efficency of the process analizing sequence, times and infrastructures to create more value with less work. Pillars of Lean production are multiple optimizing actions: 5S (sort, set-up, shine, standardize, sustain), Seven Waste Identification, Value Stream Mapping, Total Productive Mainteinance, error proofing, FastChangeovers, CI Blitz. Born in Toyota following the evolution of Scientific Method of Management, Taylorism and Total Quality is the actual efficiental method in the productive process. It is a new born method in farming but already used in agro-industry process like winery. It is a partecipative, continuous improvement action that is based on human involvement and structural optimization.

Objectives: Lean management (LM) principles were first developed by a Japanese manufacturing company to maximise value and minimise waste in the automotive industry. However, these principles can also be applied in the healthcare sector. This study aimed to illustrate the process of implementing LM principles in a radiation oncology department to streamline workflow and identify and reduce waste. Methods: This study took place in the Department of Radiation Oncology, Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman, in December 2016. A value stream map (VSM) was created for the chain of processes followed in the department. A waste analysis was conducted to determine which processes did not add value for the patient or healthcare provider. Results: Based on the VSM analysis, only six out of 13 steps were found to be of value. Necessary and unnecessary non-value-adding activities were identified. Sources of waste included parking and registration. In addition, variabilities in workload were noted. Conclusion: Overall, LM principles improve workflow, reduce waste and enhance patient and staff satisfaction. In the current study, the application of LM principles helped to improve value in a radiation oncology department.Keywords: Health Services Administration; Healthcare Quality Assurance; Total Quality Management; Organization and Administration; Efficiency; Oman.

<span>The purpose of this project is to evaluate and optimize an assembly process for ergonomic and productivity considerations. Companies use lean manufacturing as a method for continuous improvement in order to increase throughput and for to reallocate resources for more important tasks. For this project, value stream mapping (VSM) was used to evaluate, analyze, and improve the ergonomic factors of an assembly process and to increasing throughput. With the use of VSM, researchers are able to see the areas of added value, non-added value, and bottlenecks. This project illustrates the implementation of VSM for the minimization of waste, by using the design method to restructure the process of assembly. The results show drastic improvement in assembly time and ergonomic workplace design, while providing a platform for a continuous improvement system.</span>

The scope of this paper is to critically analyze and optimize the solutions available from a Lean Management point of view, for the testing & validation department of an automotive factory. The paper will start with an analysis of the basic principles of Lean Management and how this can be applied successfully, followed by a Value Stream Mapping critical analysis of the status at a given time and the action taken with the scope of optimizing the process, concluding with an updated analysis of the new Value Steam Map, showcasing the advantages and the improvements achieved.


This paper is a consequence of a job in a business devoted to mechanical manufacturing (machining base product). During the entire manufacturing cycle, several wastes could be detected using a lean manufacturing approach by Value Stream Mapping (VSM). This paper proposes the techniques that are used to show the improvements to be achieved with each of the lean tools suggested. This work is primarily intended to be a guide for organisations that want to begin to implement lean production. The development of how lean management techniques are used continues dependent on the development of intelligent value today. Smart, creative techniques, critical information, talent, and big data need to be sustainable in other respects. I4.0 assumes a critical foundation of this latest vision for the organisation's future. As the results, the lean manufacturing approach by the VSM pointed out eight waste from the current production system, known as Kaizen burst that influence to company’ profit which is high access inventory volume in between process, high rework and reject volume, delayed supplier and deliver product on time to customer, wrong forecast data, changeover time require long time, low machine performance/ inefficiency machine, travelled time in between process and lack on 5S activities. However, only three main findings based on the production system discussed in this paper

<p xss=removed><span xss=removed>Szpitalny oddział ratunkowy jest kluczową komórką organizacyjną w strukturze szpitala i nieefektywne zarządzanie nią może mieć wpływ na funkcjonowanie całego szpitala. Czas jest głównym czynnikiem rokowniczym w przypadku wielu stanów nagłych, optymalizacja funkcjonowania oddziałów ratunkowych, przy uwzględnieniu zwiększania efektywności udzielania świadczeń i obniżenia kosztów funkcjonowania, stanowią więc istotny obszar potrzebnych zmian. Lean management jest zbiorem metod oraz narzędzi wywodzących się z Systemu Produkcyjnego Toyoty i stosowanym w wielu sektorach przemysłu i usług, w ochronie zdrowia narzędzia lean wykorzystywane są przede wszystkim w Stanach Zjednoczonych, Australii oraz Kanadzie. Celem niniejszej publikacji było zestawienie wyników zastosowania lean w oddziałach ratunkowych w Europie. Przeprowadzono przegląd literatury w bazach Medline, Embase, Scopus oraz ProQuest z wykorzystaniem słów kluczowych „lean management”, „health care” oraz „value stream mapping”, uwzględniono artykuły opublikowane do dnia 15.11.2015. Wyniki przeglądu wskazują, że nieefektywne funkcjonowanie oddziałów ratunkowych ma przełożenie na wyższy współczynnik śmiertelności pacjentów, spadek satysfakcji personelu medycznego z wykonywanej pracy, spadek satysfakcji pacjentów z otrzymywanych świadczeń opieki zdrowotnej oraz nieefektywne zużycie ograniczonych zasobów. Podkreśla się szczególnie istotną kwestię koordynacji działań podejmowanych w różnych miejscach realizacji świadczeń oraz rolę multidysycyplinarnego zespołu medycznego. Wdrażając rozwiązania lean w obszarze oddziałów ratunkowych należy mieć na uwadze stopień skomplikowania procesu diagnostyczno-terapeutycznego oraz chęć uczenia się szpitala jako organizacji.</span><br></p>
