Supply chains (SC) in an attempt to be more competitive, are adopting new management paradigm. Among these paradigms there are four that deserve particular mention because of their importance to better SC performance: lean, agile, resilient and green. The main objective of this paper is to propose a conceptual model for a lean, agile, resilience and green SC, with the purpose of improving their...

Reducing wastes in the healthcare processes is crucial for developing a high performance health system. Adopted from the Toyota Production System (TPS), the Lean concept has emerged in recent years as a way of introducing innovative ideas to improve industrial processes. In the context of health care, Lean is considered as a continuous improvement model, which provides healthcare organization t...

La metodología orientada a solución de problemas propuesta en este artículo investigación tiene como objetivo actuar la velocidad Lean brindando resultados al menos cuatro semanas. Las cinco fases esta son: identificar y medir el problema; encontrar las posibles causas que están generándolo; desarrollar una empleando herramientas o Seis Sigma; vez implementada solución, verificarla con corrida ...

Constructing phase diagram and its subsequent quality lines for lean gas condensate reservoirs is always crucial and challenging topic in reservoir fluid studies. Due to small amounts of liquid drop-outs in lean gas condensates at reservoir conditions, full experimental tracking of phase diagram and its relevant quality lines is almost impossible for lean gas condensates.On the other hand, ...

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the moderating role environmental uncertainty (EU) on relationship between lean practices (LP) and business performance (BP) in SMEs Thailand. Design/methodology/approach: 170 samples middle management level persons who were aware concepts or from 120 manufacturing companies We analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis (MLR). Finding...

since lean concept has appeared many works have been done on decreasing or even eliminating of wastes such as extra inventory. although these studies have not taken into account expected availability seriously. so in this paper, a multiple objective decision making (modm) model has been developed by viewpoint of these subjects. they are decreasing wastes and increasing system availability. wast...

introduction: the perceived lean services are definite type of the therapy services that patients’ needs are responded based on information about how to receive services in hospitals and medical centers. the present study aimed to determine the relationship between availability of patients’ therapy information management infrastructures and perceived lean services to find suitable model. method...

Costs of reproduction represent a common life-history trade-off. Critical to understanding these costs in migratory species is the ability to track individuals across successive stages of the annual cycle. We assessed the effects of total number of offspring fledged and date of breeding completion on pre-migratory body condition, the schedule of moult and annual survival in a migratory songbird...
