The Real Gains from Learning LeanFor Your People and Your Plant

For Individuals

This training turns Lean theory into skills you can use on the line. You learn to see waste where others see normal operations, then apply structured tools to remove it, improve flow and lift quality. Whether you run a shift, engineer a process, manage quality or coordinate improvement, the programme gives you a common toolkit, from the eight wastes and value stream mapping to 5S, kanban, TPM and Kaizen.

For professionals in Botswana's growing manufacturing base, Lean capability is a practical differentiator. You leave able to run a waste walk, map a value stream, set up a 5S area and lead a Kaizen, and with a course completion record from Invensis Learning to evidence it.

Identify and remove the eight wastes in your own production area
Shorten lead times and improve on-time delivery with continuous flow
Apply 5S and visual management to build a safer, more organised workplace
Design simple pull and kanban systems that cut excess inventory
Raise equipment reliability using TPM and calculate OEE with confidence
Reduce changeover time with SMED so smaller batches become viable
Lead shop-floor Kaizen and build a problem-solving mindset
Gain a portable Lean toolkit valued across Botswana's manufacturers

For Organizations

Lean group training helps organisations build operational excellence by giving whole teams a shared method for removing waste and improving flow. The training can be delivered for a production line, a plant or a cross-functional improvement team. For manufacturers competing on cost and lead time, this creates a standardised approach to 5S, standard work, pull systems and Kaizen that holds across shifts and locations.

If your plant struggles with high inventory, long changeovers or inconsistent quality, Lean team training builds the capability to fix it from the inside. Senior teams gain a common improvement language and a clear path to higher productivity and stronger margins.

Market Forces Driving Lean Adoption in Botswana

Diversifying Beyond Diamonds

Botswana is growing manufacturing as diamond revenue plateaus, and new plants must run efficiently from the start. Lean gives teams the tools to compete on cost and quality.

Lean builds cost and quality competitiveness

Landlocked Logistics Costs

As a landlocked economy, Botswana carries higher freight and import costs. Eliminating waste and trimming inventory protects margins when transport adds to every unit.

Lean cuts inventory and waste

Small Market, Export Ambition

With a small home market, manufacturers rely on regional and AGOA export access. Lean lead-time and cost gains make Botswana-made goods more competitive abroad.

Lean improves lead time and unit cost

Operational Excellence Skills Gap

Many plants have deep technical staff but few people trained in Lean methods. Building 5S, VSM and Kaizen capability closes that gap and lifts productivity.

Lean closes the capability gap

SEZ Plants Scaling Fast

With 33 firms licensed in the Special Economic Zones, new factories are ramping up quickly. Standard work and pull systems keep quality stable as volumes grow.

Lean stabilises quality as volumes rise

Productivity Gap with Regional Rivals

Botswana producers compete with established South African plants. Raising OEE and reducing changeover time helps local factories match regional benchmarks.

Lean raises OEE to regional benchmarks

Skills You Will Build in This Lean Manufacturing CourseTools You Can Use on Monday Morning

This one-day programme turns Lean theory into hands-on capability, mapping directly to the tools your plant needs most. Each skill is reinforced with practical exercises so you can apply it the moment you return to the floor.

Spot and Eliminate the Eight Wastes

In this Lean manufacturing course you will learn to see and remove the eight wastes (DOWNTIME) on your own line. You run a Gemba waste walk, classify defects, overproduction, waiting, motion and more, then quantify and prioritise what to eliminate first.

Map the Value Stream

Draw a current-state value stream map with standard symbols, cycle times and inventory, calculate takt time, locate the bottleneck, and design a leaner future state that improves flow from raw material to finished goods.

Organise the Workplace with 5S

Apply the five steps of 5S (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise, Sustain) and visual management, from red-tag exercises and shadow boards to Andon and 5S audits, to build a safer, more productive workplace.

Build Pull Systems with Kanban and JIT

Move from push to pull production, size a kanban loop, design a supermarket and calculate kanban quantities so your line produces only what downstream demand requires, cutting overproduction and excess inventory.

Raise Reliability with TPM and OEE

Apply Total Productive Maintenance and the eight TPM pillars, then calculate Overall Equipment Effectiveness (Availability x Performance x Quality) and target the six big losses that hold your equipment back.

Standardise Work and Cut Changeover

Write clear standard work built on takt time, work sequence and standard WIP, then apply the SMED method to separate internal and external setup so changeovers shrink and smaller batches become viable.

Level Production and Mistake-Proof

Use Heijunka to smooth volume and mix and remove the unevenness that drives overproduction, and apply Poka Yoke devices to prevent defects at source and protect flow in a just-in-time environment.

Lead Kaizen and Sustain the Culture

Run daily Kaizen and focused Kaizen events, apply A3 problem solving, and use daily management and Lean leadership behaviours to hold the gains and keep improvement going after the training ends.
