As health care organizations face pressures to improve quality and efficiency while reducing costs, leaders are adopting management techniques and tools used in manufacturing and other industries, especially Lean. Successful Lean leaders appear to use a coaching leadership style that shares underlying principles with servant leadership. There is little information about specific similarities and differences between Lean and servant leaderships. We systematically reviewed the literature on Lean leadership, servant leadership, and health care and performed a comparative analysis of attributes using Russell and Stone’s leadership framework. We found significant overlap between the two leadership styles, although there were notable differences in origins, philosophy, characteristics and behaviors, and tools. We conclude that both Lean and servant leaderships are promising models that can contribute to the delivery of patient-centered, high-value care. Servant leadership may provide the means to engage and develop employees to become successful Lean leaders in health care organizations.

“…8) Technical feasibility of such pelletization of woody biomass has already been demonstrated in commercial scales. 9) Briquetting of biomass at higher temperature up to 210°C was investigated. 10) Mechanical pressurization to 22 MPa produced briquettes of reed with compressive strength of 20-120 MPa.…”

Preparation of Coke from Hydrothermally Treated Biomass in Sequence of Hot Briquetting and Carbonization

A sequence of briquetting of biomass solids (bamboo, larch and mallee) at temperature and mechanical pressure of respectively, and carbonization at 900°C produces coke with tensile strength (TS) of 5-19 MPa. Introduction of heat treatment in hot-compressed water (i.e., hydrothermal treatment; HT) of the biomass prior to the briquetting increases TS up to 44, 57 and 42 MPa for the bamboo, larch and mallee, respectively. TS of coke is correlated well and positively with the coke/briquette bulk density ratio, and HT increases the ratio if operated under appropriate conditions. The efficacy of HT is attributed primarily to increase in the coke yield on a basis of the briquette mass. HT hydrolytically removes highly volatile cellulosic material (i.e., cellulose and hemicellulose), transforms it into solid that contributes to coke as effectively as lignin, and thereby increases the mass yield of coke by a factor of 1.4 to 2.1. HT also enhances the plasticizability of the biomass during the briquetting by degradation of the lignin to reasonable extent, and then promotes particles' coalescence/fusion and densification of the briquettes. Applying mechanical pressure over a range of 12-114 MPa to the briquetting of a solid from HT of the bamboo at 240°C successfully results in production of coke with TS of 41-44 MPa.

Current global economy creates intense competitive environment among businesses to ensure their survival in the present challenging market. Strategic view and formulation is crucial to enhance efficiencies and effectiveness of the businesses performance. Prior research however found lack of leader's intervention can lead to failures in lean production implementation.Hence, this study aims to examine the influence of leadership style in the implementation of lean production. Data were gathered from randomly selected Malaysian manufacturing firms.Findings reveal a positive relationship between lean production and business performance.Specifically, democratic leadership style was identified to moderate the relationship between lean production and business performance.
