Purpose: This study aims to enable measuring performance and its quality and seeks to improve performance, is that the research problem emerged in the emergence of poor results for patients' blood test cases due to delayed results of the analysis. Theoretical framework: This study adopted the deductive approach by relying on sources and references related to the literature of the topic directly, to benefit from them in enriching the theoretical aspect of the research. Design/methodology/approach: The inductive approach through the application of the applied analytical aspect, where the financial data for the year 2021 was obtained through financial accounts, production reports, inventory cards, quality reports, observations, and personal interviews, study sample at the Hussein Teaching Hospital's blood laboratory in the service sector represented by the Lean Six Sigma methodology. Findings: The blood laboratory at Al-Hussein Teaching Hospital did not rely on modern quality systems, including the agile Six Sigma methodology. There is a lot of wastage and loss in the specified standard time, which causes a lot of delay in the time of analysis, and this indicates the discrepancy and decentralization of the process. The laboratory testing equipment breaks down many times because of its old age (these devices were obtained from the Japanese grant during the year 2003), and this causes two or three re-examinations, which drains additional time. As well, the small area of the laboratory compared to the number of visitors. Research, Practical & Social implications: The research enables measuring performance and its quality and seeks to improve performance, is that the research problem emerged in the emergence of poor results for patients' blood test cases due to delayed results of the analysis. The Hussein Teaching Hospital's blood laboratory is the service sector represented by the Lean Six Sigma methodology. In order to implement continuous improvement in the area of medical staff quality and to simultaneously provide the right environment for continuous improvement, Originality/value: This study is one of the very few studies that focus on the concept of Six Sigma as one of the tools of the modern quality management system, which is concerned with diagnosing and treating deviations to improve the performance of the blood test process, an attempt to manage cost through the use of accounting and statistical concepts, to achieve the highest levels of sigma.
Purpose: This research aims to try to application the two cards (kanban) system and the value stream map in the electrical cables factory in the Ur Company for Electrical Industries, with the intention of rationalizing the storage costs and improving the production, marketing and warehouse process to get rid of waste, and loss in time and cost. Theoretical framework: This research problem emerged due to the lack of The factory application of these systems that work to solve the problem of storage accumulation as well as improving the progress of the production process, and the research hypothesis has proven that it is possible to apply the Kanban system and the value stream map in the plant under discussion. Design/methodology/approach: The research showed the most important conclusions, including stock accumulation of various types, reduction of inventory, improvement of work flow, improvement in response to changes in customer requests, reduction of risk of obsolescence of inventory, reduction of the percentage of spoilage from (3%) to (2%), and rationalization of total production inventory from 858 tons [26 tons × 31 days] to 806 tons [ 26 tons x 33 days]. Findings: application the two cards (kanban) system and the value stream map in the electrical cables factory in the Ur Company for Electrical Industries The improvement in the current status of the Value Stream map, to the future status was carried out according to the Kaizen Burst (continuous improvements). As for the most important recommendations, Research, Practical & Social implications: The improvement in the current status of the Value Stream map, to the future status was carried out according to the Kaizen Burst (continuous improvements). Originality/value: This study is one of the very few studies that focus on the concept of cards (kanban) system and the value stream map it was necessary to implement the Kanban and value map system in the Cables electric plant, activating the state of transparency in the production and marketing work and facilitating the work The administrator and the need to open communication channels between the administration and workers to take advantage of the proposed views, reconsider the incentive system and link it to performance and to encourage workers to excel and drive innovation and creativity.
