Implementing lean in Malaysian universities: Lean awareness level in an engineering faculty of a local university
Many academic articles were published in Malaysia promoting the goodness of lean in manufacturing and industrial sectors but less attention was apparently given to the possibility of obtaining the same universal benefits when applying lean in non-manufacturing sectors especially higher education....

| description |
Many academic articles were published in Malaysia promoting the goodness of lean
in manufacturing and industrial sectors but less attention was apparently given to the
possibility of obtaining the same universal benefits when applying lean in non-manufacturing
sectors especially higher education. This study aims to determine the level of lean awareness
among a local university’s community taking its Faculty of Engineering (FoE) as the case
study. It also seeks to identify typical FoE’s staff perception on lean regarding its benefits and
the obstacles in implementing it. A web-based survey using questionnaires was carried out for
215 respondents consisting of academic and administrative staff of the faculty. Statistical
Package for the Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyze the survey data collected. A total of
13.95% of respondents returned the forms. Slightly more than half of those responded (56.7%)
have encountered some of the lean terms with mean 1.43 and standard deviation 0.504.
However, the large amount of standard deviation somewhat indicates that the real level of lean
awareness of FoE as a group was low. In terms of lean benefits, reduction of waste was favored
(93.3%) by the respondents with mean 0.93 and standard deviation 0.254. For obstacles in
implementing lean, lack of knowledge was selected by most respondents (86.7%) to be the
major factor with mean 0.87 and standard deviation 0.346. Through the analysis done, the
study may conclude that level of lean awareness among the university‘s community was low
thus may hinder implementation of lean concept. |
