The eight wastes, remembered as DOWNTIME, are defects, overproduction, waiting, non-utilised talent, transportation, inventory, motion and extra processing. The course teaches you to recognise and classify each one in your own work area.

Which Lean tools will I learn to use?

You get a working introduction to 5S, Value Stream Mapping, Kanban and pull systems, standard work, visual management, the Gemba walk, Kaizen and the PDCA cycle. The focus is on tools you can apply straight after training.

How long is the training?

The programme runs for one day, a total of eight hours. It can also be delivered as two half-day sessions of four hours each, covering the same six modules and hands-on exercises.

Are there hands-on exercises?

Yes. Waste-identification exercises, a simple value-stream reading activity, a 5S workplace assessment and case study discussions run throughout the day, so you practise applying Lean rather than only listening.
