This interesting and valuable research White Paper by M. L. Emiliani a.k.a Prof ‘Bob’ Emiliani. Published 2016 in International Journal of Productivity and Performance Management.

He provides strong evidence that the use of Lean Principles including ‘PULL’ systems and ‘Supermarkets’ in High education will reduce waste and improve the student learning experience.

I hope the the new UK Minister for Education, Justine Greening, reads this and becomes educated in why and how Lean principles should be applied and practiced in UK Universities.
