Although lean thinking originates from the automotive sector, it has now spread to a wide range of industries, including information technology, healthcare, and many more. In this course you will learn the fundamentals of lean manufacturing, its historical development, its core principles, advantages and significance of implementing lean, various forms of waste in manufacturing, the 5S methodology, value stream mapping, Kaizen philosophy, and practices, the plan-do-check-act cycle, the A3 problem-solving methodology, the Gemba walk, and root cause analysis are all covered in this course.
You will also learn about the Kanban system, visual management, SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Die), Poka-Yoke (Mistake-Proofing), and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) as good examples of lean tools and approaches. We will study the core elements, benefits, stages, types, and implementations of these tools and techniques. Next, we discuss the importance of lean culture and leadership, and employee engagement and empowerment. We will also explore value stream optimisation, lean in service and office environments, and lean thinking beyond manufacturing.
This course is suitable for managers and anyone who wishes to learn how to increase organizational efficiency. Lean manufacturing principles are not just another passing trend in business, they are a comprehensive, strategic strategy that has a track record of producing observable outcomes. Lean offers organisations a road map for delivering value more effectively and efficiently, even if every organisation is different and the precise benefits realised can differ. Managers and supervisors at all organisational levels can benefit from this course. Enrol in this course to start learning this interesting concept!
