LEAN sistemos taikymas mokymosi įstaigoje. Kretingos rajono pagrindinės mokyklos pavyzdys

LTStraipsnyje analizuojama LEAN sistemos metodų pritaikymo nauda mokymosi įstaigoje. LEAN metodas pirmiausia buvo siejamas su pramone, vėliau – su verslu, tačiau dabar vis aktyviau kalbama apie LEAN metodologijos taikymą valstybinėse įstaigose, taip pat ir švietime. Teigiama, kad švietimas yra nuolatinis žmogaus vedlys, todėl tai yra tokia sritis, kurioje nuolat reikia inovacijų. Švietimas vis labiau siejamas ne tik su numatytos programos įsisavinimu, bet ir su vertybių bei pasaulietiškumo perteikimu plačiajai visuomenei. Pažymima, kad Lietuvos švietimo įstaigose LEAN pradėtas taikyti remiantis užsienio šalių gerąja praktika. Straipsnyje tvirtinama, kad tam tikri iš pažiūros pramoninės LEAN gamybos metodai gali būti sėkmingai įgyvendinami švietime. Reikšminiai žodžiai: LEAN, švietimo įstaiga, Kaizen, PDCA, Asaichi.

ENBased on Lithuanian and foreign literature, this article analyzes the Lean method, which emphasizes not only the usual Lean benefits for businesses but for state institutions as well. Based on the scientific literature, the first chapter describes essential Lean aspects applicable in various fields. The article describes educational activity and its new concept concerning the modern student. More and more Lithuanian companies or public institutions are adopting Lean practices, but the structure of the education sector in Lithuania is often stagnant, so this topic is new and relevant. Due to globalization processes, education is becoming a more complex subject. Students are changing; therefore, the improvement of educational activities must also proceed periodically. The importance of education is relevant to the economy of the state, and poor quality of education may cause cracks to appear in the economy, which may be difficult to fill later. This article introduces a specific example – an educational institution, where Kaizen, PDCA, and Asaichi methods are applied. In the long run, applying these Lean methods in education helps teachers to spend more time with students, resulting in more time for their education. Keywords: Lean, Educational institution, Kaizen, PDCA, Asaichi. [From the publication]
