Item LEAN MANAGEMENT PRACTICE AND THE PERFORMANCE OF PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES TN SOUTH-WEST, NIGERI(Christopher University Mowe and Social and Management Scientist Forum, Christopher University, Mowe, Ogun State., 2024) ADEYEMI, Emmanuel Adewale; AMOSA, Jimoh Rafiu; AFOLAYAN, Anthony Kehinde; AREMU, Nuha SalihuA dynamic system, higher education institutions, particularly universities, require a specific management approach to carry out the activities that are planned for the achievement of the institutions' objectives in particular and of national growth in general. Although lean management practices in global environment is growing, there appear to be few empirical studies that examined its relative effect on organizational performance, in terms of operational cost efficiency particularly in the context of higher education system in the context of Nigeria education system. Thus, this study examines the effect of lean management on university performance. The study used a survey descriptive research design, with a total population of 12, 844 academic staff members from Public Universities in the South-West, Nigeria. 900 sample size were selected using stratified random sampling method. The data were analysed using multiple regression analysis. Findings indicated that dimensions of lean management practice have significant positive effect on operational cost efficiency (R= 0.829; B= 0. 189; t=10.486, p<0. 000). The study concludes that dimensions of lean management have significant effect on operational cost efficiency of Nigerian Universities. The study recommended that universities should further promote the use of lean management dimensions of value identification, value stream mapping, continuous Workflow, pull system and continuous improvement in their work process, so as to sustain Viable operational cost efficiency.
