Background: Lean and Six Sigma are improvement methodologies developed in the manufacturing industry and have been applied to healthcare settings since the 1990 s. They use a systematic and reproducible approach to provide Quality Improvement (QI), with a flexible process that can be applied to a range of outcomes across different patient groups. At the same time, lean tools are applicable to an endless variety of processes in healthcare… 113 This combination outperforms the use of only one other methodology; however, this combination tends to be composed of larger, private hospitals with more resources for quality improvement. Variation is the enemy of quality. Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a widely accepted business improvement methodology in healthcare, which aims to improve operations and quality and reduce cost, medical errors and waiting time by combing the principles of lean thinking with Six Sigma methodologies. |cF�6�&M�܈�FW�*�*�+LR�V�Sz��( �=5�� �톬� �@4S��Hi"���������N�rA��1��>]���Q =ջ�)[D'���Bx|�yu���z��:!��v�GN���PyD�� }r��=��I� �0J�}K�S5K�~]�sz���;N�lu\?�ͅ@�(�� ��B媙�x:�|4�ॏ��N� "%a��!���O� This paper provides a proposed framework to apply Six Sigma in the area of healthcare logistics.
