Abstract: The term “lean applied at the production management was adopted by a team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), resulted from an analysis of the Toyota Production System. This term does not apply only for the automobile industry. It is also applied at fields like administration services (lean office), product development (lean development), information and communication technology and also sanitary system (lean management). Sanitary system uses these organizational and management principles in order to find a way for better using the resources (rare ones) available to meet the constantly evolving needs. In USA, the lean system has been already introduced in hospitals, while in Europe, sanitary institutions still struggle to introduce it. This article will present the differences, from a lean perspective, between two countries with solid sanitary systems, Romania, where this method has not been applied, even if the sanitary system needs an urgent change, and France, a country that has adopted the Lean method only in the emergency department, but with the need to be applied also in the rest of the departments.
