    What Is Lean and What This Course Helps You DoUntitledA Practical Grounding in Lean Management

    Lean Fundamentals Training in Brazil is a one-day, non-certification course that gives professionals a practical introduction to Lean management, the discipline of delivering more value to customers with less waste. Rooted in the Toyota Production System developed by Taiichi Ohno and Shigeo Shingo, it teaches the five Lean principles that James Womack and Daniel Jones codified in Lean Thinking (1996): identify value, map the value stream, create flow, establish pull and seek perfection. You learn to recognise the eight wastes summarised by the DOWNTIME acronym and to apply foundational tools such as 5S, value stream mapping, Kanban, standard work and Kaizen. The course suits employees, supervisors, managers and improvement professionals in any sector, from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare, banking and IT. As Brazilian organisations sharpen productivity and control cost, a shared Lean vocabulary is a fast, high-value first step. Start your Lean journey with Invensis Learning and put improvement thinking to work from day one.

    Why Lean Skills Are in Demand Across Brazilian Industry

    Closing Brazil's Productivity Gap

    Brazilian industry has long lagged on productivity, and firms are under pressure to do more with less. Lean gives teams a proven way to remove waste and lift output without extra spend.

    Lean Fundamentals builds waste-elimination skills

    Making Improvement Stick

    Many Brazilian companies started Lean or Six Sigma programmes only to see them fade after the pandemic and cultural resistance. A shared foundation helps improvement habits last.

    Lean Fundamentals builds a common improvement mindset

    Pairing Lean with Industry 4.0

    Fewer than 7% of Brazilian firms use ten or more advanced technologies, and digital tools deliver little without lean processes underneath. Lean thinking makes data and automation pay off.

    Lean Fundamentals connects flow with digital gains

    Scarce Continuous Improvement Talent

    A shortage of qualified professionals is a top barrier to modernising Brazilian manufacturing. Training whole teams in Lean fundamentals builds the improvement capability employers struggle to hire.

    Lean Fundamentals grows in-house capability

    Sources: Nova Industria Brasil (gov.br), MDIC; Brazilian Journal of Operations and Production Management; trade.gov Brazil Advanced Manufacturing 2026.

    Lean Fundamentals is a practical first step for any team serious about improvement. Give your people the skills to see waste, improve flow and deliver more value. Start today.

    • Understanding the purpose and methodology of value stream mapping as a tool for visualizing the complete flow of materials and information required to deliver a product or service to the customer
    • Exploring different types of value stream maps, including current-state maps that document existing processes and future-state maps that define the improved process design
    • Learning how to create and interpret value stream maps to identify areas of waste, delay, and inefficiency within a process and to prioritize improvement actions
    • Understanding how value stream mapping provides the analytical foundation for planning and executing Lean improvement events and targeted process changes

    Module 4: Lean Events

    • Exploring the Kaizen event as a focused, team-based improvement activity designed to achieve significant process change within a short and defined timeframe
    • Understanding the structure and stages of a standard five-day Kaizen event, from preparation and scoping through to execution, solution testing, and results presentation
    • Learning how to plan and run shorter Lean events when the scope or available time requires a condensed improvement activity without sacrificing rigor or impact
    • Developing the facilitation and team management skills needed to lead Lean events effectively and ensure that improvement gains are sustained after the event concludes

    Module 5: Constraints

    • Understanding the concept of process constraints and how bottlenecks in process flow limit the throughput, efficiency, and capacity of the entire value stream
    • Learning systematic approaches for identifying constraints within a process, including observation-based methods, data analysis, and value stream review techniques
    • Exploring strategies for addressing bottlenecks, including process redesign, resource reallocation, workload balancing, and targeted improvement activities
    • Understanding the relationship between constraint management and broader Lean improvement efforts, and how resolving bottlenecks contributes to overall flow and value stream performance

    Module 6: Flow and Takt Time

    • Exploring the principle of flow in Lean and how continuous, uninterrupted movement of work through the value stream minimizes waiting, batching, and inventory accumulation
    • Understanding Takt time as the rate at which products or services must be produced to match customer demand, and how Takt time is calculated and applied in process design
    • Learning how to use Takt time as a planning tool to set the rhythm of production flow and ensure that process capacity is aligned to actual customer demand
    • Examining the relationship between flow, Takt time, and the broader Lean goal of delivering value to the customer efficiently, consistently, and without waste

    Module 7: Pull Systems and Kanban

    • Understanding the principles of pull-based production, in which work is initiated by actual customer demand rather than forecast-driven schedules or upstream production push
    • Exploring the Kanban system as a simple and visual method for signaling demand and controlling the flow of work, materials, and information through a process
    • Learning how to design and implement a basic Kanban system, including the selection of signal types, determination of replenishment quantities, and establishment of workflow rules
    • Understanding how pull systems and Kanban reduce overproduction, excess inventory, and lead time while improving process responsiveness to changing customer demand

    Module 8: 5S Implementation

    • Exploring the five elements of 5S, including Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain, and how each element contributes to a safe, organized, and efficient workplace
    • Learning the systematic approach to implementing 5S across a work area or department, from initial assessment and Sort activities through to the development of standardized procedures and audit routines
    • Understanding how 5S creates the physical and organizational foundation that Lean tools and improvement activities require to function effectively and sustainably

    The Lean Skills You Will BuildTools You Can Apply from Day One

    In this Lean Fundamentals course you will learn to see, measure and remove waste using the core tools of Lean management. By the end you can apply the five principles and foundational Lean tools to real work in any industry.

    The Five Lean Principles

    Define value from the customer's view, map the value stream, create flow, establish pull and seek perfection, so you can structure any improvement effort.

    Identifying the Eight Wastes

    Use the DOWNTIME framework to spot defects, overproduction, waiting, unused talent, transport, inventory, motion and extra processing in your own work.

    5S and Visual Management

    Apply Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain, along with visual controls, to build a safer, more organised and more productive workplace.

    Value Stream Mapping Basics

    Read and interpret a current-state value stream map, separate value-adding from non-value-adding steps, and see where lead time is really lost.

    Pull, Kanban and Standard Work

    Understand push versus pull, use Kanban signals to cap work in progress, and apply standard work to lock in quality and consistency.

    Kaizen and the PDCA Cycle
