Lean thinking has revolutionized manufacturing-but its power doesn't end there.

In Lean in Government and Education, internationally recognized Lean expert Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman takes readers beyond the factory floor to explore how Lean principles can radically improve public sector services and educational institutions. Through clear explanations, practical strategies, and real-world case studies, this book reveals how tools like Kanban, Takt Time, Heijunka, and Continuous Flow can eliminate waste, improve service delivery, and bring agility to rigid bureaucracies.

Whether you're a policymaker, educator, administrator, or Lean practitioner, you'll discover how to:

Identify and eliminate the seven wastes (Muda) in non-manufacturing contexts. Empower teams with transparent workflows and smarter resource planning. Improve student outcomes, administrative efficiency, and citizen satisfaction. Leverage Lean KPIs to measure real impact in classrooms and government offices.

With actionable insights and a hybrid approach to implementation, this book is a vital guide for applying Lean where it's needed most-outside the factory.
