Özet

Bu çalışma, farklı sektörlerdeki küçük ve orta ölçekli işletmelerde (KOBİ) yalın proje yönetiminin çok yönlü faydalarını araştırmak ve değerlendirmek amacıyla hazırlanmıştır. Yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat tekniğiyle 11 katılımcı ile görüşülmüş ve alınan yanıtlar MAXQDA 2020 yazılımı kullanılarak mezzo düzeyde analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, yalın proje yönetiminin, süreçlerdeki karmaşıklıkların ve proje geliştirme sürelerine bağlı belirsizliklerin ortadan kaldırılmasıyla maliyetlerde önemli düşüşler sağladığını göstermiştir. Ayrıntılı bütçeleme ve geleceğe yönelik projeksiyon uygulamalarının, maliyetleri kayda değer ölçüde azalttığı, operasyonel verimliliği artırdığı ve bu doğrultuda çalışan ekiplerin moral ve motivasyonunu olumlu yönde etkilediği görülmüştür. Ayrıca, yalın yönetim ilkelerinin benimsenmesinin, KOBİ'lerin verimli süreçler tasarlamalarını, iletişim kanallarını iyileştirmelerini ve sürdürülebilir büyüme ile inovasyon süreçlerini stratejik bir vizyonla uyumlu hale getirerek beklenmedik zorluklarla başa çıkmalarına yardımcı olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Ayrıca, etkili iletişim ve paydaş ilişkilerinin güçlendirilmesi, projelerin başarısında kritik bir rol oynamaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra, çalışmada cinsiyetler arasında belirgin görüş farklılıkları tespit edilmiştir; kadınların daha çok tasarruf ve kaynak tahsisi üzerinde durduğu, erkeklerin ise maliyet-fayda oranına odaklandığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Çalışmanın sınırlılıkları, örneklem büyüklüğünün görece küçük olması ve verilerin nitel nitelikte olmasına rağmen, temel bulgular KOBİ'lerin proje yönetimi süreçlerinde maliyet etkinliği ve finansal optimizasyonun başarılı performansın anahtar faktörleri olduğunu vurgulamaktadır.

Abstract

This study explores and evaluate multifaceted benefits of lean project management (LPM) in small and medium enterprises from various industry. The 11 corresponding participants were interviewed utilizing semi-structure forms; their responses were interpreted at the mezzo level with MAXQDA 2020 software. The findings revealed that cost reductions are achieved in the use of LPM due to the elimination of features that adhere to the processes and time-to developments. By reducing costs significantly, on account of detailed budget and forecasting, morale is stimulated and surged in the team, which operates on optimal operational efficiency. Lean principles help SMEs deal with unexpectedly challenging times by designing efficient processes, streamlining communication, and aligning their strategic visions to ensure sustainable growth and innovation. Furthermore, effective communication and stakeholder relationship-building contribute to the project's success. It also reveals that gender has some major differences of opinion, wherein females were more cost-saving and resource allocation-oriented while males were cost-benefit ratio-oriented. The study's limitations are a small sample size and the qualitative nature of the data, but key findings still emphasize cost efficiency and financial optimization drivers in SMEs' successful performance through tailored project management.
