Abstract

*g.tortorella@ufsc.br Abstract Paper aims: This article aims to evaluate the impact of Lean Production (LP) practices implementation on the supply chain of a public hospital. Originality: Most implementations fall short of their goals because they are done in a fragmented way and not from a system-wide perspective. Our approach allows to anticipate errors of misguided LP implementations in healthcare organizations. Research method: The implementation of a set of LP practices in the hospital`s supply chain was assessed by computational simulation modelling, focusing on one of the most financially important product families. Main findings: Since the simulation model considers the variability of suppliers and customers as inputs, it allows the verification of the proposed inventory policies effectiveness, in order to avoid affecting the service level. Implications for theory and practice: The proposition of a method that integrates value stream mapping into computational simulation modelling brings a differentiated approach to analyze lean implementation in a healthcare supply chain. The simulation model supports a more assertive decision-making process on lean implementation, allowing the organization to ensure that the quality and efficiency of healthcare is not

基于仿真的公立医院供应链精益实践实施分析

*g.tortorella@ufsc.br摘要论文目的:本文旨在评估精益生产(LP)实践实施对某公立医院供应链的影响。原创性:大多数实现都达不到目标，因为它们是以分散的方式完成的，而不是从系统范围的角度进行的。我们的方法允许预测医疗保健组织中错误的LP实现的错误。研究方法:通过计算模拟模型评估医院供应链中一套LP实践的实施情况，重点关注最重要的财务产品系列之一。主要发现:由于仿真模型考虑了供应商和客户的可变性作为输入，它允许验证提出的库存政策的有效性，以避免影响服务水平。对理论和实践的影响:将价值流映射集成到计算仿真建模中的方法的提出，为分析医疗保健供应链中的精益实施带来了差异化的方法。仿真模型支持更自信的精益实施决策过程，使组织能够确保医疗保健的质量和效率不受影响

期刊介绍： The Produção Journal (Production Journal), ISSN 0103-6513, is a Brazilian Association of Production Engineering (ABEPRO) publication. It was created in 1990 in order to provide a communication medium for academic articles in the Production Engineering field. Since 2002, the Production Engineering Department of Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo (PRO/EPUSP) is responsible for the editorial process of Produção Journal, sponsored by Carlos Alberto Vanzolini Foundation (FCAV). Revista Produção has the tradition of eighteen published volumes and Qualis "B2" evaluation by CAPES in the Engineering III area. For Brazilian academic community it is a top journal in Production Engineering field.
