Abstract

Abstract This paper presents an exploratory study on the knowledge and importance of integrating Lean Education in curricula from the Academy perspective. The study was based on the analysis of participants’ outcomes of workshops settled in international conferences. These workshops were used to promote Lean Education as a fundamental content and competency to be taught to the new professionals, independently of their future activity. Having in their DNA Lean content and competency, professionals will be thinkers adopting whole system-thinking, a sustainable conscious and ethical behaviour prepared to face Fourth industrial revolution demands. The authors believe that Lean Education provides such competencies to the new professionals and have been settling and operationalized such workshops in different contexts, involving more than 100 participants (mainly, academics) with teaching responsibilities in training the future workforce. Workshops outcomes were obtained from participants’ active discussions and through a satisfaction assessment questionnaire filled by all participants at the end of the workshop. Results show that Lean Education is valuable by academics (more than 50% of the participants gave a high score to the practicality, value, and timeliness of the workshop contents). Nevertheless, a small percentage (12%) knows what Lean Education is or teaches Lean in the classes (10%).

基于学者视角的精益教育的知识与重要性:探索性研究

摘要本文从学院的角度对课程整合精益教育的知识和重要性进行了探索性研究。这项研究是基于对国际会议研讨会参与者成果的分析。这些研讨会是用来促进精益教育的基本内容和能力，传授给新的专业人士，独立于他们未来的活动。在他们的DNA精益内容和能力，专业人士将是思想家采用整个系统思维，可持续的意识和道德行为准备面对第四次工业革命的要求。作者认为，精益教育为新的专业人员提供了这样的能力，并且已经在不同的背景下建立和实施了这样的研讨会，涉及100多名参与者(主要是学者)，他们承担着培训未来劳动力的教学责任。研讨会的成果是通过参与者的积极讨论和在研讨会结束时所有参与者填写的满意度评估问卷获得的。结果显示，精益教育受到学术界的重视(超过50%的参与者对研讨会内容的实用性、价值和及时性给予了很高的评价)。然而，一小部分人(12%)知道什么是精益教育，或者在课堂上教授精益教育(10%)。

期刊介绍： Production Planning & Control is an international journal that focuses on research papers concerning operations management across industries. It emphasizes research originating from industrial needs that can provide guidance to managers and future researchers. Papers accepted by "Production Planning & Control" should address emerging industrial needs, clearly outlining the nature of the industrial problem. Any suitable research methods may be employed, and each paper should justify the method used. Case studies illustrating international significance are encouraged. Authors are encouraged to relate their work to existing knowledge in the field, particularly regarding its implications for management practice and future research agendas.
