“…This process seeks to examine the concepts underlying the designed framework, primarily its usefulness, clarity and intuitiveness. Using expert opinions for validation purposes is a common approach and has been used by other works, such as Almutairi, Salonitis and Al-Ashaab [32], Haq and Boddu [33] and Beecham et al [34].…”

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic approach for evaluating the potential failure modes in a system, and is mainly employed in three distinct tasks labelled: (1) Functional FMEA – evaluating those failures associated with product functional definition, (2) Design FMEA – analysing those failures associated with design definition and (3) Process FMEA – assessing potential failures in manufacturing and assembly processes. The literature review has shown limited works on the field of synchronising these different tasks into a working model. To address this gap, this research developed a framework for integrating these tasks of FMEAs, and then qualitatively validating the proposed framework. This research adopted a semi-structured questionnaire to collect experts’ feedback and validate the proposed framework. The t-test was then employed to evaluate the collected feedback. The findings highlight that the proposed framework is applicable and could facilitate the synchronisation of the different tasks of FMEA. This research presents a methodological approach for executing and synchronising FMEAs. Therefore, the proposed framework is practically relevant as an aid for the practitioners in catching the cascading failures and reducing the relevant impact.

“…Inspired by Almutairi, Salonitis and Al-Ashaab [32] and Vinodh and Chintha [35], one sample t-test was implemented to analyse the feedback that was collected from participants. This examined the acceptance level of the proposed framework of synchronising FMEA applications by their perspectives.…”

“…Supply chain research in the realm of health services is dominated by the theme of "frameworks development", which means that most researchers prefer to use a framework as a basis for seeing the relationship between supply chain concepts and health services. In 2015-2020 health services associated with the concept of supply chain are more inclined in this direction [20,23,24]. In the end, this is understandable because playing the framework will speed up finding the common thread between the two.…”

Health services, over time, experience changes and developments by promoting many stakeholders to support excellent service, the use of technology has been implemented in various health services ranging from hospitals, clinics, to community health centers. This study tries to find a bridge between supply chain management concepts in health services, and what it future challenge, aided with two research question (1) the trends of healtcare supply chain and (2) future research avenues that less-explore. This study uses a literature study base, and Emerald Insight platform was chosen as the platform to be reached for the relevant journals, limited to the peer-reviewed academic articles published in English after 2005. Close with DI (Density Index) score as a main frame for induce future research theme in healthcare supply chain. This study concluded that research development in the healthcare supply chain area is still ongoing and will be possible to develop, as long as health services continue to operate and strive to improve their performance. Five themes consisting of 22 different topics were found, (1) framework development, (2) case study literation, (3) technology aided, (4) healthcare derivate of service, and (5) method in term of supply chain and operation. Most of the healthcare supply chain studies followed grounded theory and qualitative survey methods. This study thus proposes five main future healthcare supply chain research points (1) framework modelling, (2) using healthcare organization as a sample case, (3) RFID influence, (4) pharmaceutical supply chain, and (5) VMI approach.

“…The proposed framework was further applied by a private hospital in Jordan which resulted in an improvement in the warehousing process. Almutairi et al (2019) suggested a framework for implementing the Lean principle in the supply chain management in Saudi healthcare organizations. This framework could assist healthcare practitioners to implement Lean successfully in the hospital supply chain management practices.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to propose a Lean Six Sigma (LSS) roadmap to guide healthcare practitioners in the implementation of LSS along with a customized LSS tool kit for reducing medication errors.Design/methodology/approachThe authors initially critically reviewed several frameworks/roadmaps of Lean, Six Sigma and LSS which have been proposed in healthcare sector from the existing literature. This review has led to an understanding of key characteristics, limitations and reasons behind the development of such frameworks/roadmaps. A conceptual roadmap was developed and then validated by a number of LSS experts and a healthcare practitioner. Based on the previous studies and taking LSS experts’ opinions into account, a revised roadmap for reducing medication is presented.FindingsThe roadmap for LSS in reducing medication errors is developed. This roadmap includes three phases: Phase 1 cultural readiness for LSS employment in reducing medication errors; Phase 2 preparation, initialization and implementation; and Phase 3 sustainability.Research limitations/implicationsThe roadmap has been tested with only a handful of practitioners of LSS. Moreover, only two case studies have been carried out in a Thai hospital setting which followed the roadmap. In order to improve the validity of research, more case studies need to be executed and more people should be used for testing the roadmap with varied cultures.Originality/valueThis is the first attempt in the development of a LSS roadmap that healthcare practitioners can follow to reduce medication errors using LSS methodology and sustaining LSS in their organizations.
