Title:Wealth Generation Through Lean Green Model for Higher Education Institutions
标题:通过绿色模式为高等教育机构创造财富
Abstract:
Generating wealth is becoming one of the important strategy for public universities as the allocation from the government for their operating expenditures has been reduced drastically. Despite this significant reduction of source of income, the universities have to find a way to overcome this challenge by becoming more efficient and effective in their services to the stakeholders. Becoming lean organization enables universities to eliminate the existing waste or non-value added activities in many aspects in the universities' operations, which would yield higher return and savings. Lean is the foundation for an organization to be agile which is the main requirement for sustainability in future organization. In addition to lean, universities have also the responsibility to protect the environment. As a matter of fact, lean and green practices share the same objective - that is to reduce waste. However, studies on lean and green universities is rather scarce. Even though there are evidences that these two concepts can in fact work together, the synergy between the two concepts has yet to be discovered. This paper will discuss the development of a model known as Lean Green Higher Education (LGHE) in Malaysia.
