This document undertakes a practical study to measure the effectiveness of the Lean Service Quality (LSQ) model, which combines the development of a multi-elemental scale to measure service quality (SERVQUAL) and a conceptual/practical Lean Service model, with the aim of reducing the number of poorly performed technical repairs at a Toyota automobile dealership. The main result of the research was defining a practical guide to replicate the LSQ model. In addition, as the model’s first approach, the study demonstrated that, for the dealership under study, the rate of bad repairs was ultimately reduced by 5.17%.

The purpose of the study is to contribute to an increased understanding of the application of Lean service management in the production and monitoring phase of the construction process within real estate companies. The research questions investigate how Lean service management can improve customer satisfaction and efficiency, what obstacles can arise during implementation, and how Lean can develop in the future. Real estate companies must offer high-quality services while streamlining their operations to increase profitability as the industry has become increasingly service-focused. This study uses a qualitative, deductive method with a comparative research design to analyze how Lean service management is applied in real estate companies. Collected data consists of a literature review and semi-structured interviews with three respondents from different companies. The results show that Lean service management can streamline the production and monitoring phase of the construction process by identifying and eliminating waste of resources. The study emphasizes the importance of measuring improvements and using digital tools to create a holistic project approach. Implementing Lean requires management commitment, Lean training, and the involvement of the entire organization. With proper application, Lean service management can create win-win situations where the company, its employees, and the customer benefit. Future development of Lean service management in the production and monitoring phase of the construction process may include increased digitization and the use of AI models to streamline more processes. The study also concludes that a more efficient construction process is necessary to meet future environmental requirements and create sustainable solutions.

Comme la plupart des entreprises industrielles, la société Paul Hartmann a d’abord déployé l’approche Lean en production. L’implémentation des bases du Lean Office est décidée par l’application de la méthode Office Excellence (Kugel, 2010) dans le service support des approvisionnements. Or, cette méthode utilisée depuis 2002 par de grandes entreprises allemandes, est non testée scientifiquement. Notre recherche propose de tester cette méthode par étude de cas unique et d’évaluer sa complétude par rapport à la base conceptuelle du Lean Office. Une première contribution est la précision des concepts et des méthodes d’implémentation par une revue de la littérature. Et l’analyse longitudinale de cinq années se traduit d’abord par un constat d’échec ; la recherche-action devient alors recherche-intervention ingénierique. Les dynamiques et les difficultés rencontrées permettent, après des allers-retours constants avec la littérature, de proposer un construit méthodologique original, à l’usage des praticiens : LeanOffice@SCM. C’est une méthode d’implémentation mixte, avec une approche managériale en parallèle, et une approche opérationnelle en mode séquentiel. / Like most industrial companies, the Paul Hartmann company firstly deployed the Lean approach in factories. The implementation of Lean Office basic principles is decided through the Office Excellence method (Kugel, 2010) in the procurement support department. This method applied in some major German companies since 2002 has not been scientifically tested yet. Our research aims at testing this method with a unique case study approach and evaluating its completeness in comparison to the Lean Office’s concept base. A first contribution is made through a literature review for defining this Lean Office’s concept base. The five year-case study starts with a failure; the action-research moves to an intervention-research. After systematically challenging the case study learnings with the literature, our constructivist approach enables proposing an original Lean Office implementation method for practitioners’ use: Lean Office@SCM. It is a mixed approach made of a managerial part in parallel, and an operational one insequences.

Lean together with Toyota shocked the world when it came out. It turned a devastated company into the top car manufacturer. Ever since, the concept of lean has been implemented in companies outside of Toyota, industries outside of the car manufacturing industry and even in the public sector. The non-profit sector suffers problems of inexperienced leaders and economic problems according to theory which is hoped to be solved using lean. It has yet to be properly been introduced into non-profit organizations which this study aims to do. Previous research regarding an implementation of lean in an NPO is almost non-existing. Few instances where specific problems were solved using lean exist but nothing more. Implementing lean as it currently is does not fit well with the nature of non-profit organizations. Therefore, lean must be translated. To make up for a lack of previous research, the study collected qualitative data in the form of semi-structured interviews of eleven people within NPOs. Information regarding lean was gathered through a literature review. The study discovered that the problem regarding uneducated leaders was existent in most interviewed organizations while the economic problems wasn’t equally apparent. NPOs struggled with wastes due to lack of standardization since unpaid employees mostly help out during their spare time and leaders did not feel they could implement standardization and demands upon them. This and other conclusions constitute the answer to the research question with hopes to be a stepping stone to future research. Further research should focus on how to implement standardization while motivating unpaid employees.

As a general rule, companies have focused most of their improvement initiatives in manufacturing and operations, leaving their internal service processes behind. This study presents a FRACAS process which is underperforming in terms of lead time. The process is studied in detail and the people who work with it were interviewed to find out how they think the process inhibits their work. The contribution this study makes is that it provides an example of what lean FRACAS could mean. The studied process presents itself as non-compliant with what the employees wish from such a process. This in turn causes these employees to underperform since they think that the process does not seem to provide value to neither themselves nor the customers.

En el Perú las pymes comprenden más del 98% del total del mercado. Además, simbolizan más del 75% de toda la población ocupada dando como resultados una contribución del 42% del PBI, también se considera pequeñas empresas a aquellas que alcanzan un promedio de 800 UIT anuales con un número de trabajadores no mayor a 50 ni menor a 10 (Universidad de Lima: Revista Perfil de Negocios, 2016). Es así, como se demuestra la gran importancia del sector pyme en el mercado peruano influyendo en gran medida a la economía del país. En esta oportunidad se tomó como materia de investigación el rubro de servicio de los gimnasios en Lima metropolitana. Debido a su gran concentración en el mercado de negocios locales. A su vez, se considera el alto impacto de la necesidad de asistir a un gimnasio para las personas hoy en día (MINSA, 2017). A pesar de la preferencia de las personas por asistir a un gimnasio, se ha demostrado que existe una alta tasa de deserción de las actividades físicas por parte de los clientes, aquello ocurre pocos meses después de iniciar una membresía. Es por ello, que la presente tesis tiene por finalidad conocer los factores que pronuncian dicho declive y fomentar acciones que permitan reducir dicha deserción de clientes en donde recurrimos al QFD y Lean Service para el análisis del problema. Cabe mencionar que dicha problemática no solo trae repercusiones a nivel económicos para los gimnasios, sino, también a nivel imagen / In Peru, PYMEs comprise more than 98% of the total market. In addition, they symbolize more than 75% of the entire employed population, resulting in a contribution of 42% of GDP, small companies are also considered those that reach an average of 800 UIT per year with a number of workers not greater than 50 nor less than 10 (University of Lima: Business Profile Magazine, 2016). This is how the great monopolization of the SME sector in the Peruvian market is demonstrated, giving a high power of economic concentration on them. On this occasion, the service area of the gyms in metropolitan Lima was taken as a research subject. Due to its great concentration in the local business market. In turn, the high impact of the need to attend a gym is considered for people today (MINSA, 2017). Despite people's preference for attending a gym, it has been shown that there is a high dropout rate from physical activities by customers, which occurs within a few months of starting a membership. For this reason, the purpose of this thesis is to know the factors that lead to said decline and to promote actions that reduce the churn of customers where we turn to the QFD and Lean Service to analyze the problem. It is worth mentioning that this problem not only brings economic repercussions for gyms, but also at the image level. / Tesis

Para isso, primeiramente, busca identificar o grau de adoção do Sistema Enxuto nessas organizações através de uma survey endereçada a todas as universidades, centros universitários e faculdades privadas do país. Os resultados desse levantamento indicam que podem haver algumas iniciativas, mas decorrem de ações mais isoladas, não institucionalizadas. Um segundo objetivo contribui para a questão mais ampla de pesquisa ao investigar o uso do Lean em serviços acadêmico-administrativos em um de seus conceitos centrais: se valor, junto com a redução dos desperdícios, está na centralidade da proposta enxuta, então, quais são os atributos de valor, na percepção do aluno? Para isso foram realizadas entrevistas de grupo com alunos de graduação e pós-graduação estrito senso de cursos e instituições diversas. A análise de conteúdo realizada sobre as entrevistas identificou oito atributos de valor: Confiabilidade, Atenção, Acesso, Responsividade, Soluções de Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TICs), Comunicação, Personalização e Invisibilidade. Dependendo do tipo de serviço, a ênfase de atributos de valor muda. Complementarmente, ao buscarem-se evidências empíricas da aplicação de princípios e ferramentas do Sistema Enxuto no ambiente universitário, uma pesquisa-ação foi realizada junto a dois processos reais de uma Universidade privada comunitária, de grande porte, situada no Rio Grande do Sul. O primeiro processo refere-se a atendimento a alunos com dificuldades de acesso à rede wi-fi na Universidade. O segundo processo diz respeito ao ajuste de matrícula do aluno em decorrência do cancelamento de turmas após matrícula on-line. Na aplicação prática por meio de seminários Kaizen e da análise do que ocorreu antes, durante e depois desses seminários, evidenciou-se que o Lean é aplicável e aderente no contexto universitário, o que já estava sinalizado em pesquisas realizadas em instituições fora do país. No entanto, evidenciou-se, também, que se não houver um esforço específico de gestão e de promoção de uma cultura propícia para o desenvolvimento do Lean, a aplicação a partir de ferramentas não terá longa vida dentro da instituição. Isso também confirma-se na literatura que investiga a efetividade do Lean nas organizações. A pesquisa realizada busca contribuir para a discussão em torno do Lean Service, uma área de pesquisa não suficientemente explorada, e do Lean aplicado aos serviços de educação superior, para o qual não foram identificadas pesquisas nessa área no Brasil. Da mesma forma, espera poder contribuir para a apropriação dos conceitos e técnicas para dentro do ambiente universitário, como forma de tornar os processos acadêmico-administrativos mais eficientes e a proposta de valor cada vez mais próxima do que o aluno espera e valoriza. / This research aims to find evidences of the use of Lean in private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Brazil, specifically in the academic and administrative services provided to the students of these institutions. For that, it first seeks to identify the degree of adoption of Lean in these organizations through a survey addressed to all private universities and colleges in the country. The results of this survey indicate that there may be some initiatives, but they occur more as a result of isolated actions, than institutionalized ones. A second aim contributes to the broader issue of this research by investigating one of Lean most central concept applied to academic and administrative services: if value is in the core of Lean proposal along with waste reduction, then what do students attribute value to in such services? In order to answer this question group interviews with undergraduates and graduate students of different programs and institutions were held. The content analysis of the interviews identified eight attributes of value: Reliability, Care, Access, Responsiveness, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Solutions, Communication, Customization and Invisibility. Depending on the kind of service, the value attributes emphasis changes. In addition, in search for empirical evidences of the application of Lean’s tools and principles in a university environment, an action research analysed two real processes in a large community private university located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The first process concerns the service provided to students with difficult to access to Wi-Fi at the University. The second process refers to adjustments made in the student’s registration due to the cancellation of courses after online registration. In the practical application through Kaizen seminars and an analysis of what happened before, during and after these seminars, it became clear that Lean applies and is suitable to the university context, as it has already been indicated by research conducted in academic institutions abroad. However, the action research also revealed that, if there is no specific effort management and a favorable Lean culture promotion, the mere toolbox application will not guarantee their survival in the institution. This fact is also confirmed by the literature which investigates the effectiveness of Lean in organizations. This work aims to contribute to the discussion of Lean Service, an area still in need of further research, and Lean applied to higher education services, as there is no evidences of previous research on this topic conducted in Brazil. In addition to that, it hopes to contribute to the understanding of the Lean concepts and techniques by the university environment as a way to make the academic and administrative processes more efficient and the value proposition closer to what the student expects and values.

A implantação desta em organizações de serviço ainda se encontra em estágio inicial, principalmente quanto aos portos. Logo, o objetivo geral desta dissertação foi desenvolver um método para a implantação da filosofia lean na gestão portuária, intitulado Lean Port Implementation (LPI). Para isso traçou-se objetivos específicos como: a) explicar a filosofia lean e suas ferramentas; b) apresentar o ramo dos serviços e modelos de aplicação da filosofia lean em indústrias de serviço; c) realizar revisão bibliográfica sobre serviços lean; d) compreender as operações portuárias, o conceito de porto lean e identificar os modelos existentes na implantação da filosofia lean na gestão portuária. Em virtude da ausência de recursos financeiros, humanos e tempo para implantar o método, delimitou-se também como objetivo específico a proposição de um Plano de Implantação do LPI no terminal público do Porto de Vitória- ES. Sendo assim, foram estabelecidas três etapas principais nesta pesquisa sendo a primeira a definição do universo pesquisado (Porto de Vitória- ES), a segunda a proposição do método e a terceira o desenvolvimento de um Plano de Implantação do método LPI. Os resultados previstos foram alcançados e o método LPI apresenta diferenciais significativos. Está estruturado em fases de implantação bem definidas e detalhadas contendo o respectivo foco de atuação, a ação principal e passos a serem realizados, sugestões de ferramentas lean e desafios que podem surgir durante a implantação de cada etapa. Ademais, sugere métricas para medir os processos, e indicadores para monitorar a satisfação dos clientes portuários e as operações gerais do porto, aspectos não contemplados nos modelos identificados na literatura. Desta forma, conclui-se que por ser considerado mais detalhado e completo, facilita o entendimento da autoridade portuária sobre como implantar a filosofia lean minimizando erros e falhas. O método trouxe contribuições para o campo científico, organizações públicas e privadas, clientes portuários e sociedade. / The lean philosophy encompasses a variety of principles, methodologies and management tools that aim to eliminate waste by continuously improving processes and delivering only value to customers. The deployment of this in service organizations is still at an early stage, mainly regarding ports. Therefore, the general objective of this dissertation was to develop a method for the implementation of the lean philosophy in port management, entitled Lean Port Implementation (LPI). For this purpose, specific objectives were established such as: a) explain lean philosophy and its tools; b) present the service branch and application models of lean philosophy in service industries; c) carry out literature review on lean services; d) understand the port operations, the concept of lean port and identify the existing models in the implementation of lean philosophy in port management. Due to the lack of financial resources, human resources and time to implement the method, it was also defined as a specific objective to propose an LPI Implementation Plan in the public terminal of the Port of Vitoria- ES. Thus, three main steps were established in this research, the first being the definition of the universe searched (Port of Vitoria - ES), the second the proposal of the method and the third the development of an Implementation Plan of the LPI method. The expected results were achieved and the LPI method presented significant differentials. It is structured in well-defined and detailed implementation phases containing the respective focus of action, the main action and steps to be carried out, suggestions of lean tools and challenges that may arise during the implementation of each step. In addition, it suggests metrics to measure the processes, and indicators to monitor the satisfaction of the port clients and the general operations of the port, aspects not contemplated in the models identified in the literature. In this way, it is concluded that because it is considered more detailed and complete, it facilitates the understanding of the port authority on how to implement the lean philosophy, minimizing errors and failures. The method brought contributions to the scientific field, public and private organizations, port clients and society
