hi,
I am a former of Industrial Management student who is developing his graduate thesis. The title is "Lean Manufacturing applied to public transportation" and I am suppose to develop a case of study in the Budapest local transportation company.
Even thou at the beginning of the development I was enthusiastic it, now I feel cautious and critic about the usefulness of this approach to this sector. Concepts like value identification or flow are interesting from the passenger point of view but I have found difficult to go forward at the operative level.
So my question is do you think public transportation can benefit from a lean approach? Why? Why not? And if so, which business areas do you find more sensitive to its implementation?
I know this is a wide question, even reaching a philosophical level. But i need some criticism and fresh ideas as my time to decide if continue with this project or drop it is getting close. Also I do not have the experience some of you may have and I am looking forward enriching with it.
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
