Abstract

Zusammenfassung Chapter 5 discussed managerial practices designed to cut costs to the institution, in terms of both accounting costs and opportunity costs of capital. This chapter explores ways to tackle the other major component of educational costs: the opportunity cost of time, borne in part by the students themselves (in the form of foregone net salaries) and in part by the public (in the form of foregone income tax revenues). The first section of this chapter offers an introduction into lean manufacturing techniques. The second section discusses the prevalence of waste in traditional higher education. The final section applies lean production techniques to the learning process in higher education.
