A differentiation in the theory of Lean Management can be made between an organisational and an operational perspective. Lean Management is increasingly applied in the healthcare domain. In the M\u00e1xima Medisch Centrum (MMC, Eindhoven \/ Veldhoven) employees working at the operational level use instruments and tools to apply Lean Management. The central scientific research question is formulated as: \u201cHow can Lean Management tools and instruments contribute to continuous process improvement in the M\u00e1xima Medisch Centrum?\u201d This research project aimed at analysing how the use of instruments and tools leads to (the development of) continuous improvement in the organisation.<\/p>\n<p><b>Research design and research methodologies: <\/b><br \/>\nThe research consisted of case studies at two outpatient departments in the M\u00e1xima Medisch Centrum. Four research methodologies are applied, in a triangular approach: 1) semi-structured questionnaire, 2) data analysis of Key Performance Indicators (KPI\u2019s), 3) document analysis and 4) semi-structured interviews.<\/p>\n<p><b>Results and conclusion:<\/b><br \/>\nThe master thesis project lead to insights in the current maturity of the application of Lean Management in the M\u00e1xima Medisch Centrum. Recommendations, regarding the applicability and prerequisites, are drawn for further development of a continuous improvement culture in the hospital.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, September 5th 2014, Pieter Dat will present the results of his second master thesis.
