The purpose of this study was to identify strategies for implementing lean management in education. A qualitative research approach was used. The research field included all professors of management and educational sciences of Iranian universities. In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 experts to identify strategies for implementing lean management in education. To ensure the validity of the instrument during the research, the review of participating experts as well as the supervision of three non-participating professors was used. The participants' repeated review method was used to ensure the reliability of the data. In the open coding stage, 738 conceptual propositions were identified and by combining them, 20 pivotal codes were obtained. In the selective coding stage, six re-engineering codes in education economics, professional selection, motivation, effective measures, specific institutions and needs assessment as implementation strategies lean management was identified in education. Given the benefits of lean management in various dimensions, it is necessary to start by adopting effective guidelines for lean implementation in education.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the realization of the principles of lean thinking and to present a lean management model for Iran’s education.

The mixed research approach was used. Using purposive sampling method, 122 principals of education regions of West Azerbaijan completed a researcher-made questionnaire made by Pure Principles. In the qualitative part, to achieve the model, the Strauss-Corbin method continued semi-structured interviews with 13 elites until theoretical saturation was achieved.

The findings show that education is based on long-term philosophy but is not forward-looking, services are tailored to the needs of individuals, specialized tasks and work processes are clear, trainees are trained in philosophy Adhere to Islamic education and the document of fundamental change in education. Therefore, the third, sixth, tenth and eleventh principles are researchers and the first and thirteenth principles are relatively established. In the qualitative part, the results of analyzing the data obtained from the interviews around the paradigm model were divided into 23 categories, including: causal causes 5 categories, environmental conditions 5 categories, background factors 4 categories, strategies 4 categories and consequences 3 categories.

Education can not be called "Lean" in the current situation, but in terms of existing capabilities, lean management is applicable in education. In the qualitative section, after analyzing the data obtained from interviews with elites, "value creation through the identification and elimination of maximum waste" was identified as the main phenomenon.

This study aims to identify the requirements and consequences of lean management in Iranian education using a qualitative approach. The field of research included professors of Iranian universities in the field of management as well as the field of educational administration in 2021. The measurement tool was an interview about the requirements and consequences of implementing lean management. Interviews with 15 academic experts continued until theoretical saturation was achieved. To ensure the validity of the instrument during the research, the review of participating experts as well as the supervision of three non-participating professors was used. The participants' repeated review method was used to ensure the reliability of the data. Using Maxqda software, 417 basic conceptual propositions in the requirements section and 346 basic conceptual propositions in the consequences section were identified. By combining and combining them, 18 central codes for requirements and 19 central codes for consequences were obtained. Introduce and promote pure methods, use of experts, conscious and step-by-step measures, stakeholder conditions, effective evaluation, identification of wastes, role of values and redefining values, under the heading of requirements and 7 categories of education excellence, establishing justice Educational, technological benefits, increasing stakeholder satisfaction, increasing educational productivity, responsibility and value creation of social leaders and scientific presence in the global arena were under the heading of the consequences of pure implementation in education.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the components of lean management and develop an appropriate model of lean management for Iran’s educational system. In this research, a qualitative research method based on grounded theory with Strauss-Corbin model was used and semi-structured interviews with 11 elites were continued by purposeful sampling method until theoretical saturation was achieved. To ensure the validity of the instrument, expert review and to ensure the reliability of the data, the non-participating elite review method was used.The results of data analysis around the paradigm model in 37 Components including: causal causes, 7 Components (introduction and promotion of pure methods, role of experts,…), environmental conditions, 8 Components (position of local educational leaders, compliance with laws and policy makers,…) Context factors, 9 Components (capacity of laws and regulations, compliance The main body of the system,…) strategies, 6 Components (re-engineering in education economics, professional selection,…) and consequences, 7 Components (education excellence, stakeholder satisfaction,…). After analyzing the data, "value creation through identifying and eliminating maximum losses" was identified as the main phenomenon.
