Wasn’t the Lean continuous improvement process developed for manufacturing?
Yes. Lean principles were originally developed to increase performance and decrease costs in manufacturing operations. [link to Le2 Program Evolution] However, the principles proved to be so universal, they have been successfully applied to achieve the same results in many other industries, including those in the service sector. Lean Education Enterprises, Inc. adapted the principles to meet the unique challenges of K-12 education. Our Le2 Program was designed by an experienced, practicing teacher/administrator and a certified, practicing Lean Master to help schools streamline processes, reduce waste, and save costs while improving school and district performance.
