Main Activities of LERC

Our research focuses on the application and meaning of lean thinking in a variety of different contexts and environments. Projects tend to be collaborative in nature, often involving a number of organisations who come together as a network, with common issues that the particular research programme addresses. Our degree education activity is focused on the MSc in Lean Operations - the world's first lean masters programme, while  Engagement includes open and bespoke short courses, knowledge transfer activities, action research, project based learning, lean community & networks and the Lean Competency System.
