Abstract: Abstract Leaders who first brought up the idea of applying lean to the educational sector were confronted with some unexpected pushbacks. Many academics and practitioners consider lean as a concept within production and operations, where it was first developed by Toyota in Japan. It was assumed that the goal of lean management was to create something of an assembly line in universities, colleges, or schools. As both groups, teachers and scholars, dislike the idea of education as a kind of assembly line and factory for mass production, the resistance was quite high.
