“…TQM is a firm-wide management philosophy that continuously improves, sustains and controls the quality of products, services and processes by focusing on the customers' needs and expectations to enhance customer satisfaction and firm performance Dal Pont et al, 2008). Within lean settings, TQM has been enriched by lean practices geared at reducing manufacturing process variance, which in turn leads to continuous improvement (Shah 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 t i o n a l J o u r n a l o f H e a l t h C a r e Q u a l i t y A s s u r 4 and Ward, 2007;Dal Pont et al, 2008;.…”

Structured Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this research is to study the effect of the implementation of lean bundles on hospital performance in private hospitals in Jordan and evaluate how much the size of organization can affect the relationship between lean bundles implementation and hospital performance. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research is considered as quantitative method (descriptive and hypothesis testing). Three statistical techniques were adopted to analyse the data. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) techniques and multi-group analysis were used to examine the research's hypothesis, and to perform the required statistical analysis of the data from the survey. Reliability analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to test the construct validity, reliability, and measurement loadings that were performed. Findings: Lean bundles have been identified as an effective approach that can dramatically improve the organizational performance of private hospitals in Jordan. Main lean bundles-Just In Time, Human Resource Management, and Total Quality Management are applicable to large, small and medium hospitals without significant differences in advantages that depend on size. Original/Value: According to the researchers' best knowledge, this is the first research that studies the impact of lean bundles implementation in healthcare sector in Jordan. This research also makes a significant contribution for decision makers in health care to increase their awareness of lean bundles.

“…These tools must be implemented in form of pilot project in order to ensure that any expansion of lean implementation is based on the accuracy, effectiveness and efficiency (Mostafa et al, 2013). Notice that all employees' involvement is widely recommended for the proper implementation of lean projects (Pont, Furlan & Vinelli, 2008). This aimed at motivating them and increasing their responsibilities and ownership of actions.…”

Abstract:Purpose: The present paper aims at developing an effective framework including all the components required for implementing lean production properly in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.Design/methodology/approach: The paper begins with the review of the main existing framework of lean implementation in order to highlight shortcomings in the literature through a lack of suitable framework for small companies. To overcome this literature gap, data of successful initiatives of lean implementation were collected based on a multiple case study approach. These initiatives has been juxtaposed in order to develop a new, practical and effective framework that includes all the components (process, tools, success factors) that are necessary to implement lean in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. Findings:The proposed framework presents many significant contributions: First, it provides an overcoming for the limitations of the existing frameworks by proposing for consultants, researchers and organizations an effective framework for lean implementation in SMEs. This will allow SMEs to benefit from competitive advantages gained by lean. Second, it brings together a set of the more essential and critical elements of lean implementation commonly used by SMEs and derived from the practical experiences of them in lean implementation. Finally, it highlights -786-Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management -http://dx.doi.org/10. 3926/jiem.1907 the successful experiences of small companies in implementing lean programs and then proves that lean can give relevant results even for SMEs. Research limitations/implications: the proposed framework presents a number of limitationsand still evokes extension for further researches: Although it was derived from practical experiences of SMEs, the proposed framework is not supported by practical implementation. On the other hand and even though the elements in the proposed framework are derived from the practical experiences of four SMEs, the identified elements need to be generalized and enriched by conducting a survey to identify more elements that are also commonly used in SMEs.Practical implications: Implementing rigorously the proposed framework will help small companies' managers to improve considerably their organization's performance and benefits from lean strategies' outcomes. Researchers and practitioners in small businesses now possess an integral framework for successfully implementing lean strategies. Originality/value:To the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first work that proposes an effective lean implementation framework believed to be easy to understund, practical and suitable for small companies. In short, this study is a real quantum leap to resolve the problematic unanswered of lean implementation in SMEs.

RESUMOEste trabalho tem como objetivo identificar o uso de técnicas específicas de manufatura enxuta no setor automotivo brasileiro. Para isto um referencial teórico foi desenvolvido. Com base no referencial teórico as principais técnicas de manufatura enxuta foram identificadas. Posteriormente, uma pesquisa de campo para identificar a prática destas técnicas no setor automotivo foi realizada. Os resultados desta pesquisa de campo são mostrados e discutidos e o trabalho é encerrado com as considerações finais. INTRODUÇÃOA Manufatura Enxuta envolve diversas ferramentas de gestão para que a produção seja otimizada, viabilizando atingir mais facilmente objetivos de desempenho principais como qualidade, velocidade, confiabilidade, flexibilidade e custo [1]. O fator principal é que todas as técnicas trabalhem em sinergia produzindo produtos de acordo com o ritmo da demanda do cliente e com pouco ou nenhum desperdício. [2] Em um mercado cada vez mais competitivo, como o automotivo, é fundamental que as empresas busquem essas características e apliquem de forma estratégica, ainda mais por se tratar do Brasil, país onde o segmento teve pouca visibilidade durante o início da história da indústria automobilística mundial e consequentemente se atrasou em relação a outros mercados. [3] Assim, a Manufatura Enxuta pode auxiliar por ser um modelo estratégico e integrado de gestão, que visa o alto desempenho norteado por princípios e técnicas que suportam esse modelo. [4] Mas nem sempre os conceitos por trás da manufatura enxuta são devidamente absorvidos e acabam sendo implementados, em alguns casos podemos identificar essa implementação dos conceitos de manufatura enxuta nas empresas de maneira vaga e superficial. Nesse cenário, o presente trabalho irá caracterizar as informações mais difundidas sobre as técnicas e metodologias enxutas, através de um questionário respondido por representantes de empresas e, assim, mapear quais as técnicas estão sendo aplicadas por completo.
