The article discusses the economic concept of "lean production/manufacturing", originally developed for the manufacturing sector and successfully adapted for education. This concept is based on the idea of "lean thinking", focused on improving production processes and optimizing the resources consumed. Various directions and forms of using lean manufacturing in educational organizations are characterized (problem diagnosis, team training, implementation of kaidzen events, and the practice of continuous improvement of the educational process). They can significantly increase the efficiency and quality of the educational process, which creates conditions for productive learning, where each participant in the process becomes its active co-author and gets the opportunity to share his unique ideas and suggestionsReferences
