Although many lean higher education efforts have focussed on administrative/support services and processes, only a few actual applications of lean methods have been meant for teaching, which is the core business of higher education. The absence of experiments and research in these contexts has challenged us to apply lean to our own undergraduate co...

Lean Six Sigma is applied in a wide range of economic domains ranging from industry to services to healthcare. These are all domains that have markedly different structures. Recently a set of papers has appeared indicating that the successes in applying Lean Six Sigma to new domains such as government, healthcare and education are falling short of...

... LSS is mainly used to improve efficiency and productivity in different organisations by utilising its powerful tools and techniques (Kumar et al., 2006). In the current scenario, the scope of LSS is to widen that many academics and industries are using it (Nabiyouni and Franchetti, 2019;Shahin and Rezaei, 2018;Arif, 2016;Aleu and Aken, 2016;Brkic and Tomic, 2016;Brouwer-Hadzialic and Wiegel, 2016). Integration of lean thinking and Six Sigma has been considered as the most effective way to eliminate the deficiency which causes the reworking, scraping, and lead towards a unified idea of improvement one after the other (Smith, 2003). ...

... It is commonly and erroneously held that LT should primarily be implemented in the manufacturing sector, which is distant from education (Antony, 2014). There is certainly a strong argument to be made that LT, where it has been introduced into education, has not received proper adjustments, and the models found in the manufacturing sector restrict the implementation of LTE (Balzer et al. 2016;Thirkell & Ashman, 2014;Wiegel & Brouwer-Hadzialic, 2015). In addition, educational institutions are communities that exhibit complex dynamics: to a certain extent, it is anticipated that employees in education will resist change, as occurs everywhere, in any system change. ...
