Abstract

Literature on healthcare supply chain management has shown that the kanban system can provide significant benefits. However, very few benefits have been empirically demonstrated and the extent of each remains unknown. This study aims to measure nurses’ satisfaction with kanban systems in logistics of medical consumables and assesses possible advantages and differences among user groups through an anonymous survey at Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena of Seville, Spain. Treatment of responses included an exploratory factor analysis, and a CAPTCA analysis. The results showed a high level of satisfaction for each aspect of the kanban system. Moreover, it highlighted the differences of opinion between groups of individuals according to workplace, nursing units, job category, seniority, age and kanban training. The exploratory factor analysis revealed that two factors underlie the collected assessments: the inherent advantages of a kanban system, and the logistics system performance as a whole. Thus, hospital managers should promote the implementation of kanban systems, since it increases nurses’ satisfaction and provides significant benefits. La literatura sobre cadena de suministro en sanidad ha mostrado que el sistema kanban puede proporcionar importantes ventajas a las organizaciones sanitarias. Sin embargo, muy pocas de ellas se han demostrado y valorado empíricamente. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo medir la satisfacción de la enfermería con el sistema kanban, valorar cada una de sus posibles ventajas e identificar posibles diferencias entre diferentes grupos de usuarios. El trabajo ha consistido en realizar una encuesta anónima en el Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena de Sevilla, España. El tratamiento de las respuestas incluye un análisis factorial exploratorio y un análisis CAPTCA. Los resultados muestran un alto nivel de satisfacción con cada aspecto del sistema kanban y la existencia de diferencias entre individuos según centro de trabajo, unidad de enfermería, categoría laboral, antigüedad, edad y formación en kanban. El análisis factorial exploratorio señala la existencia de dos factores subyacentes a las valoraciones recogidas: las ventajas inherentes del sistema kanban y el rendimiento del sistema logístico en su conjunto. Como conclusión, los directivos hospitalarios deberían promover la implantación de sistemas kanban ya que ello incrementa la satisfacción de enfermería y proporciona importantes beneficios.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
