COURSE OVERVIEW:

Lean includes a wide range of principles and tools with the goal of identifying and removing waste to increase process velocity. Put in plainer terms, Lean practises seek to maximise value to the customer or client, whilst minimising waste of all kinds.

Embracing Lean tools and techniques can go a long way toward helping your team increase efficiency and reduce costs. Most importantly, these Lean techniques can help you deliver a higher quality product to customers in a faster and more predictable way - a win for both your operations and your customers.

Lean techniques are typically used in a production environment, and most examples in this Lean training course which will focus on applying Lean techniques in these kinds of processes. The reality is that Lean techniques can be used in any environment that uses processes. Because Lean and the Six Sigma method goes hand in hand. Lean is part of the Six Sigma approach of problem-solving as eliminating waste goes a long way to solving problems in any process.

In this course, we will be going over a number of different Lean Techniques. The tools and methods outlined in this course for optimising resources, streamlining operations, and eliminating waste had their origins in manufacturing. Experience, however, has shown that these methods are applicable everywhere. This course will enable you to quickly learn and begin applying the most commonly used tools for creating value and eliminating waste.
