Abstract

Based on the successful experiences of foreign countries, we can say that the implementation of LEAN or Continuous Improvement in educational institutions systematises and standardises the educational process, as the whole community of the institution works in one direction, and teachers develop a tool to monitor the progress of the student. Pupils are empowered to track and take responsibility for their results. A standard for problem solving is created, and student outcomes improve (Zighan and Ahmed, 2020; Netland and Powell, 2016). The object of this article is to apply a new management system in a Lithuanian educational institution with an open/democratic organisational culture. The aim is to identify the factors that can influence the success of LEAN implementation and to take them into account when implementing a LEAN management system. The scientific literature related to LEAN management and its implementation in the public sector and in educational institutions was analysed. A research methodology was developed. LEAN management principle and examples were presented to the community of X organisation. The presentation of the examples and principles was based on a case study, discussed during an interview. The initial reaction of the teachers to the idea of LEAN initiative was analysed. Reactions to the LEAN approach were analysed and evaluated.
