The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how Lean tools can be used to decrease waiting time for outpatients in a geriatric hospital. The study also evaluates the critical success factors of Lean implementation in the outpatient process. To achieve this, a three-phase service model was proposed, including problem analysis, implementation, and verification. The proposed solution includes the use of Standard Work, Kanban Board, and Poka-Yoke methodologies under the Lean Healthcare approach. The current and improved scenarios were simulated using the Arena software. The study's results showed

One of the primary objectives of businesses is to enhance their productivity, as it contributes to reducing inefficiencies in processes and leads to increased customer satisfaction, thereby enhancing profitability. Consequently, one of the goals of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is to increase their productivity to ensure their growth, with the textile sector being no exception. Faced with rising transportation costs for products manufactured in China, as well as logistical chain distortions caused by COVID-19 and increasing fuel costs, textile consumer markets have opted for nearsh
