THE LEAN MODEL: THEIR APPROACH HLL has adopted the LEAN model to the healthcare-hospital sector. This model is based on a global vision of the supply chain. The LEAN model identifies “operational waste” in processes and eliminates it, specially in those areas where there is room for more improvement, such as procurement, warehousing, inventory planning and management, transportations and hospital internal logistics. HLL also makes a decisive contribution to maintaining and respecting the environment by supporting activities that reduce environmental pollution.
