    Why Lean Skills Pay off on the Shop FloorValue You Apply from Day One

    For Individuals

    For Individuals

    Lean Manufacturing Training helps you move from firefighting to systematic improvement. You learn to see waste the way Toyota does, then apply proven tools to remove it, so flow improves, lead times fall and quality rises. Whether you are a production supervisor, manufacturing engineer or continuous improvement lead, the programme gives you techniques you can put to work the same week in any production or operations environment.

    If you want to be the person who fixes the process, not just runs it, Lean skills are the foundation. You leave able to run a waste walk, map a value stream, implement 5S, design a pull system and calculate OEE with confidence.

    • Spot and remove the eight wastes in your own production area within days
    • Apply value stream mapping to expose bottlenecks, excess inventory and long lead times
    • Lead 5S and visual management improvements that make problems visible at a glance
    • Design kanban pull systems and calculate OEE to target your biggest equipment losses

    Pressures Making Lean Essential in Dutch Plants

    Labour Shortage and Rising Costs

    The Netherlands tight labour market and high wage costs push manufacturers to do more with fewer people. Lean waste elimination and standard work protect output and margin.

    Lean builds standard work and waste-elimination skills

    Energy and Sustainability Pressure

    High energy prices and strict sustainability targets make every unit of waste expensive. Lean tools cut overproduction, scrap and excess inventory while lowering resource use.

    Lean cuts overproduction, scrap and inventory

    Semiconductor and High-Tech Ramp-Up

    The ASML-led high-tech cluster demands flawless, fast-scaling production. Lean flow, kanban and OEE keep complex lines running to takt as volumes climb.

    Lean builds flow, kanban and OEE skills

    Complex, Mixed-Model Production

    Dutch machinery, automotive and equipment makers run high-mix, make-to-order lines. SMED quick changeover and Heijunka levelling make small batches and fast switches viable.

    Lean builds SMED and levelling skills

    Quality and Compliance Demands

    Food, pharma and medical-device plants operate under strict quality regimes. 5S, poka yoke and built-in quality reduce defects while supporting compliance.

    Lean builds 5S, poka yoke and built-in quality skills

    Ageing Workforce and Knowledge Loss

    As experienced operators retire, tacit know-how walks out the door. Standard work and visual management capture the best method so performance holds across shifts.

    Lean builds standard work and visual management skills

    Lean skills are how Dutch manufacturers turn these pressures into advantage. Build the toolkit your plant needs and start eliminating waste. Enrol today.

    Your Netherlands Lean Career Shift

    From Running the Line to Improving It

    The Shift Lean Skills Deliver

    Dutch manufacturing rewards people who can improve the process, not just keep it running. As plants chase productivity, quality and lower waste, the gap between those who can lead Lean improvement and those who cannot keeps widening. Here is the shift the training delivers.

    Today

    Seen as a capable operator or engineer, not an improvement leader

    After training

    Positioned for Lean manager and operational excellence roles

    Today

    Limited leverage when output or quality targets slip

    After training

    Able to raise OEE, cut lead times and prove measurable gains

    Today

    Pay tracks your current role band with little upward pull

    After training

    Lean and operational excellence roles in the Netherlands average around €79,000

    You Master Lean Tools

    Before

    You react to breakdowns, delays and defects as they happen

    Now you have

    A systematic way to see and remove waste before it disrupts flow

    Before

    Improvement ideas stall without a shared method or language

    Now you have

    A common Lean toolkit your whole team can apply together

    Before

    You know the symptoms but rarely reach the root cause

    Now you have

    Value stream mapping and A3 thinking to find and fix root causes

    Before

    Your skills are tied to one plant or one process

    Now you have

    Transferable Lean capability valued across sectors and employers

    "In Dutch manufacturing, the people who can eliminate waste and improve flow are the ones who get pulled into the room where decisions are made."

    The Lean Tools You Will MasterApplied to Real Production Scenarios

    This programme is built around the tools that make Lean work on the shop floor. Skills covered in Lean Manufacturing Training map directly to the six modules and the roles that use them daily. By the end of the day you can run a waste walk, map a value stream, implement 5S, design a kanban pull system, calculate OEE and lead Kaizen improvements.

    See and Eliminate the Eight Wastes

    Identify and classify waste using the DOWNTIME model (defects, overproduction, waiting, non-utilised talent, transport, inventory, motion and extra processing) on a real production floor, then target the biggest sources for removal.

    Map the Value Stream

    Draw current-state value stream maps with standard symbols, calculate takt time and lead time, locate the bottleneck, and design a leaner future-state flow you can act on.

    Apply the Five Lean Principles

    Work through identifying value, mapping the value stream, creating flow, establishing pull and seeking perfection, the continuous cycle that underpins the Toyota Production System.

    Organise the Workplace with 5S

    Plan and run a 5S programme (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardise, Sustain) and use visual management such as andon and production boards to make problems visible at a glance.

    Design Pull Systems and Kanban

    Move from push to pull production, size supermarkets, and calculate the number of kanban cards needed to control work-in-progress and stop overproduction at source.

    Raise Reliability with TPM and OEE

    Apply Total Productive Maintenance and calculate OEE (Availability x Performance x Quality) to expose the six big losses and prioritise where equipment improvement pays off most.

    Standardise Work and Cut Changeover

    Write standard work built on takt time and work sequence, and apply SMED to slash changeover time so smaller batches and faster product switches become viable.

    General

    What is Lean manufacturing and why is it worth learning?

    Lean manufacturing is a systematic method for eliminating waste from production so every step adds value for the customer. It is worth learning because Dutch employers across high-tech, food, chemical and automotive plants hire people who can cut lead times, lift quality and raise output using proven Lean tools.

    Who should attend the Lean Manufacturing Training?

    The training suits production and manufacturing managers, industrial and manufacturing engineers, operations supervisors and team leaders, quality and maintenance professionals, and continuous improvement leads. It is open to anyone working in or responsible for a production or operations environment.

    Do I need prior Lean experience to join?

    No. There are no prerequisites. The programme introduces the Toyota Production System, the five Lean principles and the eight wastes from first principles, so beginners and experienced practitioners both benefit. Prior manufacturing exposure is helpful but not required.

    Is this training relevant to sectors beyond manufacturing?

    Yes. While the focus is manufacturing, tools such as 5S, value stream mapping, waste elimination and Kaizen apply to logistics, warehousing, healthcare operations and service delivery too. The principles transfer to any process where you want to remove waste and improve flow.

    What will I be able to do after the programme?

    You will be able to run a waste walk, read and build a value stream map, plan a 5S rollout, design a kanban pull system, calculate OEE and lead Kaizen improvements. In short, you can start eliminating waste on your own production floor right away.

    Pricing

    How much does the Lean Manufacturing Training cost in the Netherlands?

    Fees vary by delivery format, group size and whether you book a public cohort or on-site team training. For current pricing in euros, request a quote and a learning advisor will confirm the options that fit your needs.

    What is included in the training fee?

    The fee covers instructor-led delivery of all six Lean modules, structured courseware, hands-on tool exercises, downloadable Lean templates, learner support and a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. Ask us for the full inclusions when you request a quote.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with tailored content and volume-based pricing for production teams, plants and business units. Contact us for a group quote built around your team size and preferred delivery format.

    Are there discounts for booking multiple team members?

    Group and on-site bookings are priced per cohort, so training several colleagues together is usually more cost-effective than individual seats. Speak with a learning advisor to see the best option for your team.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major cards and bank transfer, with invoicing available for corporate bookings. A learning advisor can walk you through the options when you request a quote.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for the Lean Manufacturing Training?

    No. This is a practical skills programme with no exam. Learning is reinforced through hands-on Lean tool exercises, waste-identification activities, manufacturing case examples and group discussion during the day.

    What do I receive on completing the training?

    You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. There is no formal credential or awarding body; the value is the practical Lean capability you can apply immediately in your workplace.

    How is my learning assessed during the programme?

    Assessment is practical, not a test. You apply Lean tools through exercises such as waste walks, value stream mapping, a 5S assessment, OEE calculation and kanban sizing, so you leave able to use each tool on your own lines.

    Does the skillset expire or need renewing?

    No. The Lean tools and methods you learn do not expire and need no renewal. They remain immediately applicable to waste elimination and continuous improvement throughout your career.

    Can I progress to further Lean training afterwards?

    Yes. This programme is a strong foundation for further study such as Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen, Poka Yoke and Lean Six Sigma training, all available through Invensis Learning. Ask an advisor about the right next step for your goals.

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the Lean Manufacturing Training?

    The programme covers six modules: Lean foundations and the Toyota Production System, the eight wastes, value stream mapping, 5S and visual management, pull systems, kanban, JIT and TPM, and standard work, SMED, Heijunka, poka yoke and Lean culture.

    How long is the training and how is it structured?

    The programme runs for one day (8 hours) and can also be split into two half-day sessions. It combines concept explanations, real manufacturing case examples and hands-on Lean tool exercises across all six modules.

    Are there hands-on exercises included?

    Yes. Exercises run throughout the day, including a Gemba-based waste walk, value stream data collection, a 5S workplace assessment, OEE calculation, kanban quantity calculation and standard work observation, so you practise every core tool.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive structured courseware, downloadable Lean templates and reference guides, and exercise materials for each module. These support both the session and your improvement work back at the plant.

    Is the content suitable for a whole production team?

    Yes. Lean works best when operators, engineers, supervisors and maintenance share one method and language. On-site group training applies the exercises to your own factory, making it ideal for cross-functional production teams.
