    Lean Fundamentals builds waste-spotting skills

    Rising Labour Costs

    As wages and input costs climb, factories must remove waste and lift output per worker to stay competitive, which is exactly what Lean tools are built to do.

    Learn 5S, standard work and flow

    FDI Quality Standards

    Suppliers to Samsung, Intel and LG must meet demanding quality and efficiency expectations, making Lean-literate teams a real advantage.

    Build quality and improvement skills

    Scaling High-Tech Manufacturing

    Electronics and semiconductor growth adds process complexity, and Lean gives teams the discipline to keep flow smooth and defects low at scale.

    Apply Lean across complex processes

    Continuous Improvement Talent Shortage

    Employers struggle to find people who can run Kaizen and process improvement, so professionals with solid Lean foundations stand out.

    Start your continuous improvement path

    Export Competitiveness

    With electronics exports at record highs, cost and speed matter more than ever, and Lean helps organisations protect margins by cutting waste.

    Help your organisation compete

    General

    What is Lean Fundamentals Training?

    Lean Fundamentals Training is a one-day, non-certification course that gives you 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 core tools including 5S, value stream mapping, Kanban, standard work and Kaizen, with examples from manufacturing and services.

    Who should attend Lean Fundamentals Training in Vietnam?

    The training is designed for all employees, team members, supervisors, managers and quality professionals across every industry and function who want to understand Lean and apply it. It is especially useful as the shared entry point for teams starting a Lean or operational excellence programme.

    Is Lean Fundamentals Training worth it?

    Yes. It builds a practical, immediately usable skill that employers across Vietnam's manufacturing, electronics and service sectors actively value. You leave able to spot waste, improve flow and contribute to improvement projects, and with a solid foundation for further Lean and quality learning.

    Do I need prior Lean experience to attend?

    No. There are no prerequisites. The course introduces every Lean principle and tool from first principles, so it suits complete beginners as well as people who already work near improvement activities.

    What framework is the course based on?

    The course is rooted in the Toyota Production System developed by Taiichi Ohno and Shigeo Shingo at Toyota, and in the five Lean principles that James Womack and Daniel Jones set out in Lean Thinking (1996): identify value, map the value stream, create flow, establish pull and seek perfection.

    Pricing

    How much does Lean Fundamentals Training cost in Vietnam?

    Pricing varies by delivery mode, group size and schedule, so the fee is available on request. Request a quote and a learning advisor will share current options for individual and corporate training.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training across all six modules, structured course materials, hands-on waste identification and 5S exercises, learner support, and a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate and group rates for teams, which is a popular option because organisations often train whole shifts or departments together. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a tailored quote.

    Are there discounts for training a whole team?

    Yes. Volume-based pricing is available for larger groups and multi-site rollouts. Contact a learning advisor with your team size and preferred format and we will prepare a quote.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and instalment options are available on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for Lean Fundamentals Training?

    No. This is a non-certification course with no examination. Learning is reinforced through waste identification exercises, case study discussions and team activities during the one-day programme.

    Do I receive a certificate after the training?

    Yes. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. This records that you completed the training; it is not a formal certification, as Lean Fundamentals has no awarding body or exam.

    Is Lean Fundamentals a certification?

    No. It is skills training that builds Lean awareness and practical tool knowledge. If you later want a graded credential, it is an ideal foundation before a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt or Green Belt programme.

    How is my learning assessed?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you apply Lean concepts throughout the day in waste identification exercises, a value stream mapping activity and a 5S workplace assessment, so you practise the tools on realistic scenarios.

    Does this training help towards Lean Six Sigma?

    Yes. It gives you the Lean grounding that Lean Six Sigma builds on, making it a strong first step before Yellow Belt or Green Belt training, as well as before Value Stream Mapping and Kaizen courses.

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the training?

    The programme covers the origins of Lean and the Toyota Production System, the five Lean principles, the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), foundational tools such as 5S, value stream mapping, Kanban and standard work, Kaizen and the PDCA cycle, and how Lean applies across different industries.

    What will I be able to do after completing the course?

    You will be able to explain the five Lean principles, identify and classify waste using the eight DOWNTIME categories, describe how 5S, Kanban and standard work help, apply the PDCA cycle to a small improvement, and take part more effectively in Lean activities.

    How long is the Lean Fundamentals course?

    The course runs for one day (8 hours) covering all six modules with concept explanations, real-world examples and hands-on exercises. It can also be delivered as two half-days to suit team schedules.

    Are there hands-on exercises?

    Yes. Waste identification exercises, a value stream mapping activity and a 5S workplace assessment run throughout the day, so you practise the tools rather than only hearing about them.

    Does Lean apply outside manufacturing?

    Yes. Wherever there is a process there is waste to remove, so the tools apply across healthcare, financial services, logistics, IT and government as well as manufacturing. The course uses examples from several sectors.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in Lean Fundamentals Training?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete payment, and you will receive access to schedules, course materials and joining details. Talk to a learning advisor if you need help choosing.

    What training formats are available?

    The course is available online (live virtual instructor-led), in a classroom, and as onsite corporate training for teams, so you can pick the format that fits your schedule and location in Vietnam.

    How soon can I start?

    Sessions run regularly across live virtual and classroom formats. See upcoming batches or speak with a learning advisor to find a date that works for you or your team.

    Can I train my whole team at once?

    Yes. Corporate onsite or live virtual delivery lets you train a shift, department or entire site together, which is the most popular way to launch a Lean programme. Request corporate training to arrange it.

    Can I reschedule my enrolment?

    Yes. Flexible options let you move to another batch where needed. Contact our support team and we will help you reschedule to a convenient date.
