Project Abstract
Current strands of research include: better understanding worker motivations that lead to resistance to change during lean implementations; integrating lean across the entire life cycle; lean practices in specific industries; lean railway freight; application of lean principles to the minimisation of harm (safety); development of new methods and tools to implement lean; integration of lean with other organisational systems for quality, safety, environment, etc.
We are open to suggestions from interested industrial/commercial parties and postgraduate students.
