The Lean Management Approach (LMA) is a philosophy based on eliminating elements that do not add value to the production process and reducing waste. Leadership is needed for the lean management philosophy to be successful for businesses. Ignoring the leadership element in the lean management philosophy may cause this approach to not fully achieve the expected benefit. In this respect, it is seen that there is an increasing need on lean leadership. In this sense, the aim of this research is to make a literature review about lean leadership and to concretize what lean leadership concept means. As a result of the study, it was observed that lean leadership activities were widely used in the improvement of processes in the health and production sectors. In this respect, it is thought that health institutions and other enterprises should take lean leadership in process designs and accordingly, they should direct their business activities.

Yalın Yönetim Bakış Açısıyla Yalın Liderlik

Öz

Yalın Yönetim Yaklaşımı (YYY), üretim sürecine değer katmayan unsurların ortadan kaldırılması ve israfın azaltılması temeline dayanan bir felsefedir. Yalın yönetim felsefesinin işletmeler açısından başarılı olması için liderliğe ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Yalın yönetim felsefesinde liderlik unsurunun göz ardı edilmesi bu yaklaşımın tam anlamıyla beklenen yararı sağlayamamasına neden olabilmektedir. Bu açıdan yalın liderliğe ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu anlamda, bu araştırmanın amacı, yalın liderlik ile ilgili bir literatür incelemesi yapılarak yalın liderlik kavramının ne ifade ettiğinin somutlaştırılmasıdır. Çalışmanın sonucunda yalın liderlik faaliyetlerinin sağlık ve üretim sektörlerinde süreçlerin iyileştirilmesinde yaygın bir şekilde kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Bu açıdan sağlık kurumlarının ve diğer işletmelerin süreç tasarımlarında yalın liderliği dikkate almaları ve buna göre işletme faaliyetlerine yön verilmesi gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
