Why Greek Employers Need Lean Skills Now

A Manufacturing Rebound to Support

Greece's Manufacturing PMI rose to 54.2 in January 2026, its strongest in five months. As output and orders grow, plants need people who can hold quality and cut waste while scaling.

Lean Fundamentals builds waste and flow skills

Fragile Supply and Delivery Times

Protests, road blockages and logistics issues have lengthened input delivery times. Lean flow and pull thinking help teams protect output and manage inventory when supply is uneven.

Lean Fundamentals builds flow and pull thinking

Waste Hidden in a Services Economy

With much of Greek employment in services and the public sector, waste hides in admin, patient and customer flow. Lean tools expose and remove it well beyond manufacturing.

Lean Fundamentals extends beyond the factory

Productivity and Cost Pressure

Energy and capital costs push Greek firms to do more with less. Waste elimination, 5S and standard work give teams measurable efficiency gains without new spending.

Lean Fundamentals builds practical efficiency skills

Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

Lean Fundamentals Training is a one-day introductory course that gives a practical grounding in Lean management. It covers the origins of Lean in the Toyota Production System, the five Lean principles, the eight wastes (DOWNTIME) and foundational tools such as 5S, value stream mapping, Kanban, standard work and Kaizen, with examples from many industries.

General

What is the Lean Fundamentals Training?

Who should attend this Lean course?

The course suits all employees, team members, supervisors, managers and professionals who want to understand Lean and apply it. It is especially valuable for teams starting a Lean or operational excellence programme, and as a foundation before deeper study such as value stream mapping or Kaizen training.

Is Lean Fundamentals training worth it for professionals in Greece?

Yes. With Greek manufacturing growing again in 2026 and services and public bodies chasing efficiency, employers value people who can see waste and improve flow. The skills apply across sectors, from factories to offices, healthcare and IT, so the learning transfers wherever you work.

What framework does the training follow?

The training is grounded in the five Lean principles codified by James Womack and Daniel Jones in Lean Thinking (1996), which are rooted in the Toyota Production System developed at Toyota by Taiichi Ohno and Shigeo Shingo. It is a vendor-neutral course with no single governing body.

Do I need prior Lean knowledge to join?

No prior Lean knowledge is required. The course introduces every principle and tool from first principles at an introductory level, so it is suitable whatever your industry or background.

Pricing

How much does Lean Fundamentals training cost in Greece?

Fees vary by delivery format (live online, classroom or corporate onsite) and group size, so pricing is available on request. Contact a learning advisor for a current quote tailored to how you want to train.

What is included in the course fee?

The fee covers instructor-led delivery of all six modules, structured courseware and learning resources, hands-on waste identification and Lean tool exercises, and learner support. You also receive a course completion record on finishing the programme. Ask for a quote to see full inclusions.

Do you offer corporate or group rates?

Yes. Group and corporate rates are available, and this course is often delivered to whole teams as the first step in a Lean rollout. Contact us for tailored group pricing for your organisation.

Are payment or instalment options available?

Yes. We accept major cards and bank transfers and can discuss suitable payment options for individual and corporate bookings. Speak with a learning advisor to arrange the option that works for you.

Is the price the same for online and classroom training?

Pricing can differ between live online, classroom and onsite formats and depends on group size. Request a quote and we will confirm the exact cost for your preferred format.

Assessment

Is there an exam for this course?

No. This is a non-credential course with no exam. Learning is reinforced through waste identification exercises, case study discussions and team activities throughout the one-day programme, so you apply the concepts as you go.

Will I receive anything on completion?

Yes. You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning confirming you finished the one-day programme. The course builds practical Lean skills rather than awarding a formal Lean credential.

How is my learning reinforced during the day?

Through hands-on activities: a waste identification exercise using realistic scenarios, reading a simple current-state value stream map, and a 5S workplace assessment. These let you apply Lean thinking to real situations during the training.

Are there any prerequisites to join?

None. There are no formal prerequisites and no prior Lean knowledge is needed. The course is open to professionals from any industry or function.

Does the training lead to a Lean credential?

No. Lean Fundamentals is a skills-building course, not a credentialling programme, and there is no awarding body for the training itself. It gives you the vocabulary, principles and tools to take part confidently in Lean improvement work.

Course Content

What topics does the Lean Fundamentals course cover?

The course spans six modules: the origins and philosophy of Lean, the five Lean principles and customer value, the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), foundational Lean tools, Kaizen and the PDCA cycle, and applying Lean across industries. Hands-on exercises run throughout the day.

What are the eight wastes in Lean?

The eight wastes are captured by the DOWNTIME acronym: Defects, Overproduction, Waiting, Non-utilised talent, Transportation, Inventory, Motion and Extra processing. You learn to recognise and classify each one in your own work.

Which Lean tools will I practise?

You work with the core foundational tools: 5S workplace organisation, an introduction to value stream mapping, pull systems and Kanban, standard work, visual management, and the Kaizen and PDCA improvement cycle.

How long is the training?

The training runs for one day (8 hours), covering all six modules with concept explanations, real-world case examples and hands-on exercises. It can also be arranged as two half-day sessions where that suits a team better.

Is the content relevant outside manufacturing?

Yes. Although Lean began in manufacturing, the principles apply anywhere processes exist. The course uses examples from healthcare, financial services, IT and administration so you can apply Lean thinking directly to your own sector.
