Lean Education

Parents and students want a high-quality education at lower costs

The cost of tuition at Colleges and Universities has experienced strong pricing pressures recently. Unfortunately, without a focus on customer value and streamlining operations, costs will continue to rise. Elementary schools and high schools are beginning to have the same needs for cost containment and cultural improvement.

 

Educators and Educational Institution Leaders want the best for their students

Lean basics are often taught at Universities and Community Colleges, but not practiced by the organizations themselves. Teachers and Principals in Community Schools do not know about the Lean methods that have helped countless organizations improve their operations.

 

We Want to Help

Lean East supports Lean improvements at educational institutes. The Lean East team and several of its partners have led successful improvement projects in education and see the potential for improvements in areas including:

  • NEW: Changes to teaching methods and planning due to the COVID-19 Pandemic
  • Standardizing core operational processes and helping teams identify and eliminate wasted steps
  • Teaching simple Lean methods that professors, teachers, and staff can use to improve their classroom organization and processes
  • Technology integration: removing the waste from processes before implementing new technologies
  • Leadership best practices for all levels of the organization

 


 

Colleges can only discount their prices so much until they are forced to cut actual costs given reduced revenue. If recent news reports are any indication, the pricing strategies that colleges have utilized for several decades to attract students seem to be coming to an end. So college officials will be forced to confront their expenses whether they want to or not.
