Abstract

The use of lean technologies can improve the quality of services and the efficiency of available resource spending, stimulate the development of the country economy and improve the living standards of the population. Authorities pay particular attention to the modernization of higher education. In this regard, it is advisable to introduce lean technologies in the educational process of higher educational institutions, which will allow us to identify and develop the ability of these structures to self-development not only due to the influx of information and external finances, but through the use of their internal sources. The introduction of lean production principles in the activities of universities can help increase the efficiency of the educational process and their competitiveness. Based on this, the article discusses the process of lean manufacturing tool introduction into educational activities. An attempt is made to analyze comparatively lean manufacturing tools and the possibility of their application in the educational activities of the university. The article emphasizes that the replication of existing experience of lean manufacturing tool implementation will ensure a steady growth of key performance indicators and will allow the formation of a sustainable lean model of population behavior based on the popularization of the culture of “thrift” among students.
