This paper focuses on the application of the lean management model in the tourism sector, specifically in the hospitality sector. In line with this focus, a study was conducted in the reception department of a five-star hotel in Mugla/Turkiye. The study aims to explore the applicability of lean thinking in management, which has been used in the manufacturing sector for many years with thriving, sustainable results, and to address opportunities for improvement in the hotel business.
The research methodology includes a comprehensive value stream mapping study of the operational processes in the reception department. The research, involving the hotel manager, reception unit manager, and employees, aimed to identify non-value-adding processes and eliminate them through quality circles.
The value stream mapping process provided valuable insights into the customer journey from initial registration to room assignment and identified areas for improvement. Non-value-adding steps, such as unnecessary paperwork and delays in the process, were identified, resulting in potential improvements in operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. The results of the study underlined the feasibility of integrating lean principles into the hotel's reception department and highlighted the potential impact on process efficiency and customer satisfaction.
The study also emphasized the importance of monitoring the implementation of the improvement recommendations and evaluating their impact. In addition, it emphasized the need to create a culture of continuous improvement in hotel businesses in the tourism sector. The study's constraints include its focus on a single hotel, the absence of lean transformation initiatives, and its limited scope to the reception department, serving as a pilot study. The findings underscore the importance of adopting lean management practices to optimize processes and elevate the hospitality industry's guest experience.

YALIN TURİZM: DEĞER AKIŞ HARİTALAMA YÖNTEMİ İLE ETKİLİ BİR ATÖLYE ÇALIŞMASI

Bu araştırma makalesi, yalın yönetim modelinin turizm sektöründe, özellikle de konaklama sektöründe uygulanmasına odaklanmaktadır. Bu odak doğrusunda Muğla ilindeki bir beş yıldızlı otelin resepsiyon departmanında bir çalışma yapılmıştır. Çalışma, imalat sektöründe yıllardır kullanılan ve başarılı, sürdürülebilir sonuçlar alınan yalın düşüncenin yönetimde uygulanabilirliğini keşfetmeyi ve otel işletmesindeki iyileştirme fırsatlarını ele almayı amaçlamaktadır.
Araştırma metodolojisi, resepsiyon departmanındaki operasyonel süreçleri kapsamlı bir değer akışı haritalama çalışmasını içermektedir. Otel müdürü, resepsiyon birimi sorumlusu ve çalışanların katıldığı araştırma, değer katmayan süreçleri tespit etmeyi ve kalite çemberleri aracılığıyla bunları ortadan kaldırmayı amaçlamıştır.
Değer akışı haritalama süreci, ilk kayıttan oda atamasına kadar müşteri yolculuğuna ilişkin değerli bilgiler sağlamış ve iyileştirme alanlarını belirlemiştir. Gereksiz evrak işleri ve süreçteki gecikmeler gibi değer katmayan adımlar tespit edilerek operasyonel verimlilik ve müşteri memnuniyetinde potansiyel iyileştirmeler sağlanmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçları, yalın yönetim ilkelerinin otelin resepsiyon departmanına entegre edilmesinin fizibilitesinin altını çizmiş ve süreç verimliliği ve müşteri memnuniyeti üzerindeki potansiyel etkiyi vurgulamıştır.
Çalışma ayrıca, iyileştirme önerilerinin uygulanmasının izlenmesinin ve etkilerinin değerlendirilmesinin önemini vurgulamıştır. Ek olarak turizm sektöründeki otel işletmelerinde sürekli iyileştirme kültürünün oluşturulması gerektiği vurgulanmıştır. Ancak araştırmanın sadece tek bir otelde yapılmış olması, yalın dönüşüm süreçlerine başlanılmaması ve yalnızca resepsiyon departmanında yapılmış bir pilot çalışma olarak kalması, bu araştırmanın kısıtlarıdır. Araştırma bulguları, yalın yönetim ilkelerinin konaklama sektöründeki işletmelerin genel başarısına ve sürdürülebilir büyümesine katkıda bulunabileceğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca, yalın yönetim metodolojilerinin otel operasyonlarında süreç verimliliğini ve müşteri memnuniyetini nasıl önemli ölçüde artırabileceğine dair değerli iç görüler sunmakta, operasyonel süreçleri optimize etmek ve konaklama sektöründe misafir deneyiminin genel kalitesini yükseltmek için yalın yönetim uygulamalarını benimsemenin önemini vurgulamaktadır.
