History and a Future of Lean Healthcare

Original language description

There is growing interest in applying lean in healthcare. Healthcare services around the world have adopted industrial engineering methods and process improvement methodologies from the manufacturing sector, known as lean production. The academic literature offers many examples of firms which have achieved significant improvement via lean management implementation. These firms usually apply well-defined lean tools. The impact of its implementation is well established in the literature. Focus of this article is not to detail lean principles and concepts. The article explores the challenges and opportunities faced by organizations that intend to incorporate lean management principles, within the specific context of the healthcare industry.
