Title Primjena Kaizen i Lean pristupa u farmaceutskoj industriji Title (english) Application of Kaizen and Lean approaches in pharmaceutical industry Author Matija Pavlinac Mentor Ksenija Vitale (mentor)Committee member Anita Begić Hadžipašić (predsjednik povjerenstva)Committee member Ksenija Vitale (član povjerenstva)Committee member Ivan Jandrlić (član povjerenstva)Granter University of Zagreb Defense date and country 2024-09-27, Croatia Scientific / art field, TECHNICAL SCIENCES Abstract U krajoliku modernih radnih mjesta koji se brzo razvija, zdravlje i sigurnost radnika postali su najvažniji problemi za organizacije u različitim sektorima. U ovom radu prikazani su primjeri implementacije Kaizena i Lean pristupa, jer poduzeća teže poboljšanju operativne učinkovitosti i njegovanju kulture sigurnosti. Metodologije kao što su Kaizen i Lean, koje potječu iz japanske proizvodne industrije, stekle su važnost. Oba pristupa naglašavaju stalno poboljšanje i smanjenje otpada, ali također imaju značajan potencijal za poboljšanje zdravlja i sigurnosti radnika. Cilj ovog rada bio je otkriti koliko su ljudi upoznati s metodologijama Kaizena i Leana te kako primjena tih metodologija može poboljšati uvjete rada i sigurnosne protokole. Oba pristupa dijele bitna načela, kao što su poštovanje prema ljudima, predanost kvaliteti i neumoljiva potraga za učinkovitošću, koja postavljaju temelje za poboljšanje zdravlja i sigurnosti radnika u organizacijama. Uz to, istraživalo se koliko su dugo radnici na svojim radnim mjestima, te koliko su zadovoljni općim uvjetima i sigurnošću na radnom mjestu. Primjena Kaizena i Leana u zdravlju i sigurnosti radnika sve su očitije te organizacije provode strategije kontinuiranog poboljšanja kako bi unaprijedile sigurnosne protokole. Kaizen potiče uspostavljanje sigurnosnih krugova, gdje zaposlenici na svim razinama sudjeluju u prepoznavanju sigurnosnih problema, predlaganju poboljšanja i razmjeni najboljih praksi. Ovaj suradnički pristup ne samo da osnažuje radnike, već i potiče osjećaj vlasništva nad njihovom sigurnošću i dobrobiti. Iz istraživanja se uvidjelo da proizvodnja ima pozitivan pomak uvođenjem novih tehnologija i Lean alata, većina zaposlenika ima pozitivan stav prema svom poslodavcu, što je dobar znak za organizaciju. Međutim, postojanje zaposlenika s neutralnim ili nezadovoljnim stavom ukazuje na to da ima prostora za poboljšanje kako bi se povećalo opće zadovoljstvo zaposlenika.
Abstract (english) In the rapidly evolving landscape of modern workplaces, employee health and safety have become paramount concerns for organizations across various sectors. This paper presents examples of the implementation of Kaizen and Lean approach, as companies strive to improve operational efficiency and foster a culture of safety. Methodologies such as Kaizen and Lean, which originate from the Japanese manufacturing industry, have gained importance. Both approaches emphasize continuous improvement and waste reduction, but they also hold significant potential for enhancing worker health and safety. The aim of this paper was to explore how familiar people are with the Kaizen and Lean methodologies and how the application of these methodologies can improve working conditions and safety protocols. Both approaches share essential principles, such as respect for people, commitment to quality, and an unrelenting pursuit of efficiency, which lay the foundation for improving worker health and safety in organizations. Additionally, the study examined how long employees have been in their workplaces and how satisfied they are with general working conditions and safety in the workplace. The application of Kaizen and Lean to worker health and safety is becoming increasingly evident as organizations implement continuous improvement strategies to enhance safety protocols. Kaizen encourages the establishment of safety circles, where employees at all levels participate in identifying safety issues, proposing improvements, and sharing best practices. This collaborative approach not only empowers workers but also fosters a sense of ownership over their safety and well-being. The research revealed that the introduction of new technologies and Lean tools in production has led to positive changes, with most employees having a positive attitude toward their employer, which is a good sign for the organization. However, the existence of employees with neutral or dissatisfied attitudes indicates that there is room for improvement to increase overall employee satisfaction.
