Abstract

The integration of Green Lean Six Sigma (GLSS) within healthcare systems presents an opportunity to improve operational efficiency, environmental sustainability, and the quality of patient care. This study examines healthcare professionals’ initial perceptions of GLSS adoption in their work environments, especially in the context of Industry 4.0, the COVID-19 pandemic, and economic constraints. Through semi-structured interviews with healthcare workers and academics, the study reveals a cautious yet optimistic outlook. Participants recognize the potential for significant efficiency gains and waste reduction but also voice concerns about resource limitations and the need for comprehensive training. These preliminary findings provide important insights into the opportunities and challenges associated with implementing GLSS in healthcare, laying a foundation for future research and practical applications aimed at enhancing hospital operations through sustainable practices.
