About the Lean Enterprise Research Centre (LERC)
![]() |
LERC is one of Cardiff Business School's major research centres, with around 20 staff and associates and a track record of innovative Research, Executive Education and Engagement activities. It was founded in 1994 as Daniel T Jones sought a base from which to explore the ideas centred around the newly coined term 'lean thinking' - popularised in the book The Machine that Changed the World (1990, Womack, Jones & Roos) and then in Lean Thinking (1996, Womack & Jones). LERC's mission is to research, apply and communicate lean thinking; it is one of the largest centre's of its kind in the world. |
