Therefore, this research was conducted to test whether the application of Lean Thinking in a few public and private hospitals in Malaysia can assist in operational performance. Other than that, the purpose of this study is to identify the important internal and external factors that contribute to the success of Lean Thinking in service sector. In this research, Resource-based View Model approach was used as an underlying theory to identify internal factors which is workers oriented that influence the success of the Lean Thinking. The internal factors were than divided to general factors and specific factors. General factors are made of top management, training and education, communication and employees involvement; while the specific factor is thinking development. In this study, external factor which is government interference was also tested as the public hospitals are very bounded to the government policy. The data was analysed using Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The result showed only internal factors (general factors and specific factors) have influences towards the operational performance. Meanwhile, the external factor which is government interference does not influence the success of Lean Thinking practices in public and private hospitals in Malaysia. The result was parallel with the previous researchers that the important factor that moved the improvement practices must be started from the organization’s internal strengths. These findings are important as a guideline to the practitioners to prioritize the factors based on workers oriented in order to increase operational achievements through Lean Thinking.

The development of the information technology (IT) implementation readiness model for SMEs is required to investigate the status of usage of IT among SMEs in Malaysia towards the industrial revolution 4.0. It also investigates the obstacles in the implementation of IT in SMEs. Literature and empirical studies have identified ten critical success factors for IT implementation in SMEs namely the management, staff, IT planning, outsourcing/financial, consultants, vendors, organizational culture, relationship management and change, IT champion, and perception and attitude. The IT Implementation Readiness Model (or mRIME) consists of three components: success factors, evaluation method and readiness level index. Two case studies have been conducted involving industry to validate the proposed model and the evaluation results show that the model is appropriate, practical and accurate. The mRIME model could be used to assist SMEs by having a clear method to measure the level of readiness in implementing IT as well as to provide justification for the future funding, and to ensure the SMEs are prepared and not being left behind in the new business era the Industrial Revolution 4.0.
