Designed to benefit Oakland University students, schools, nonprofits, government and industry, the Pawley Lean Institute (PLI) shares concepts and practices of Lean thinking to create leaders and learners in the university, public and private sectors, and the community.

The Lean learning concept incorporates tools, techniques and management philosophies to streamline processes and eliminate waste, while providing value from the customer's perspective.

The Pawley Lean Institute is an interdisciplinary approach to lean/continuous education within the School of Education and Human Services (SEHS), School of Engineering and Computer Science (SECS) and the School of Business (SBA). Each school offers undergraduate and graduate programs that integrate theory, research and experience with solid academic preparation and practical skills to prepare graduates for professional success.
