MSc Lean Enterprise

The Buckingham Lean Enterprise Unit (BLEU) have been running MSc programmes since 1999 and have built a strong international reputation. The BLEU team is made up of recognised, world-class professionals and all of the programme lecturers possess a combination of academic rigour and real-world battle scars.

Our programmes are specifically designed for practising managers working across all areas of business and range from 1-day courses right up to 2-year part-time master’s level.

The MSc in Lean Enterprise is our flagship programme, launched at the University of Buckingham in 2010, but developed and extended from our team’s 15 years’ experience running the MSc in Lean Operations previously.

The programme is specifically designed for practising managers. The philosophy of the programme is that Lean can only effectively be learned with hands-on practice. Hence, a considerable part of the programme is held on-site at manufacturing and service locations. Participants take part in real exercises (not just case studies) in several organisations in several sectors. The student group is deliberately small to allow both practical hands-on participation and personal interaction with some of the leading practitioners in the UK.
