Proposta de uso dos conceitos do lean para a melhoria de serviços educacionais em escolas públicas do estado do Amazonas

Abstract

Given the challenges faced by public schools in the state of Amazonas in offering quality educational services, it is essential to adopt innovative approaches to diagnose problems, propose solutions and promote improvements. The lean concept, originally developed in the industrial sector with a focus on eliminating waste and optimizing processes, is a suitable methodology for improving educational services. This study proposes the application of lean principles and tools with the aim of increasing the quality of the services provided, reducing costs and increasing the satisfaction of those primarily involved in the educational process, analyzing their effectiveness in the context of public schools in Amazonas. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with employees of the institutions, with the aim of identifying waste that impacts on the services provided. Based on the analysis, a framework was developed with practical recommendations for implementing lean in schools, offering an accessible solution that aims to promote process optimization and continuous improvement in the educational environment.
