Master’s and postgraduate education integration into the knowledge management system of companies

The authors considered the possibilities of integrating master’s and postgraduate education with the knowledge management system of companies. The possibilities of the formation of universal professional competencies within the framework of educational programs in the conditions of the academic and professional communities have been investigated. The article presents an analysis of the 6 Sigma concept, a generalization of the experience of applying the principles of lean in practice, the conceptual model of the Center for Lean Manufacturing and Best Practices. The development of integrated management systems at enterprises is especially important in the face of current economic and social risks and constraints. Given the increasing importance of digital technologies, information flows, innovative management methods, individual elements of the management system, including knowledge management, acquire special significance. The purpose of this work is to summarize the experience of developing a conceptual model of the Lean Manufacturing Center and of Excellence and its individual elements, including the international master’s program Lean 6 Sigma DMAIC, aimed at the formation of universal intellectual and professional competencies “complex problem solving”

Keywords: lean manufacturing, 6 sigma, quality, management, knowledge management, education, system, quality, standards.
