Lean Education Academic Network, is a group of academic and industry people interested in bringing lean content into academic programs. The Leaneduc email list will send you announcements from the network.
From Exclusive Q&A with Jim Womack, Part 4:
We recently came across a new industrial engineering text from a major American publisher titled something like “Principles of Lean Engineering” in which the first chapter was about … Economic Order Quantity! It got Jim so mad that he decided it was time to bring together all of the right-minded engineering faculty along with operations faculty from business schools to create the just-formed Lean Education Academic Network (LEAN). The idea is for right-minded faculty to share all of the existing teaching materials and then devise the kind of textbooks and teaching materials that should have been universally used years ago.
