    Where Lean Skills Take You in Chile

    Roles, Sectors and Demand

    Lean Manufacturing training builds skills that are in demand across Chile's industrial base, from copper and lithium operations in the north to salmon, food, forestry and wine plants in the centre and south. As producers face lower ore grades, record export volumes and margin pressure, employers want engineers and managers who can eliminate waste and lift efficiency. Roles run from Continuous Improvement Analyst and Process Engineer to Production Manager, Continuous Improvement Lead and Operations Manager, and here is what the market is showing right now.

    What Is Driving Lean Demand Across Chilean Industry

    Lean manufacturing is a career-defining capability for operations professionals in Chile. Join teams that cut waste and connect the shop floor to results. Start your Lean journey today.

    Your Chile Lean Transformation

    Your Production Line, Before and After Lean

    A Change Your Team Can See

    Chile's manufacturers are separating teams that run on firefighting from those that run on a Lean system. Here is the shift this training helps you make on your own shop floor.

    Module 2: Identifying and Eliminating Waste (MUDA, MURA, MURI)

    • Identifying the eight types of waste: Defects, Overproduction, Waiting, Non-Utilised Talent, Transportation, Inventory, Motion, and Extra Processing
    • Conducting waste walk exercises to assess current-state operations and prioritise improvement opportunities across production processes
    • Understanding the difference between MUDA (waste), MURA (unevenness), and MURI (overburden), and applying structured elimination strategies for each

    Module 3: Value Stream Mapping (VSM)

    • Creating current-state value stream maps to visualise the flow of materials and information across the production process
    • Analysing current-state maps to identify bottlenecks, excess inventory, non-value-added steps, and process cycle efficiency metrics
    • Designing future-state value stream maps and building improvement roadmaps to close the gap between current and desired production performance

    Module 4: 5S Workplace Organisation

    • Implementing the five steps of 5S: Sort (Seiri), Set in Order (Seiton), Shine (Seiso), Standardise (Seiketsu), and Sustain (Shitsuke)
    • Conducting 5S workplace assessments, scoring production areas, and identifying corrective actions to improve organisation and visual management
    • Building 5S sustaining mechanisms including audit schedules, visual controls, and standard work documentation to maintain workplace improvements

    Module 5: Just-in-Time (JIT) Production and Kanban

    • Understanding Just-in-Time production principles including Takt Time analysis, one-piece flow, and pull-based scheduling to reduce inventory and lead times
    • Designing and implementing Kanban pull systems to manage material flow, signal replenishment, and eliminate overproduction between production stages
    • Calculating Takt Time, cycle time, and process lead time to balance workload and design efficient production flows aligned with customer demand

    Module 6: Kaizen and Continuous Improvement Events

    • Understanding Kaizen philosophy, the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) improvement cycle, and the principles of rapid improvement event facilitation
    • Planning, facilitating, and following up on structured Kaizen events including team selection, problem scoping, root cause analysis, and countermeasure implementation
    • Building a Kaizen culture through daily improvement habits, idea management systems, and leadership behaviours that sustain continuous improvement momentum

    Module 7: Error-Proofing with Poka-Yoke and Jidoka

    • Understanding error-proofing principles and the difference between detection and prevention approaches to quality control in manufacturing processes
    • Designing and implementing Poka-Yoke (mistake-proofing) devices and mechanisms to eliminate defects at the source before they reach the next production stage
    • Applying Jidoka (autonomation) principles to enable machines and operators to detect abnormalities, stop production, and signal for corrective action automatically

    Module 8: Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and OEE

    • Understanding Total Productive Maintenance principles including the eight pillars of TPM and how TPM supports Lean production by eliminating equipment-related waste
    • Calculating Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) using Availability, Performance, and Quality components to measure and improve production asset performance
    • Implementing Autonomous Maintenance practices to involve operators in basic equipment care, inspection, and early defect detection to reduce unplanned downtime

    Module 9: Sustaining Lean and Building a Lean Culture

    • Developing Lean management systems including visual management, daily team meetings, tiered accountability processes, and leader standard work to sustain improvements
    • Measuring and tracking Lean progress using key performance indicators including lead time, first-pass yield, OEE, inventory turns, and on-time delivery
    • Building a long-term Lean transformation roadmap, engaging cross-functional teams, and developing internal Lean practitioner capability to drive ongoing operational excellence

    Course Curriculum

    of the Lean Manufacturing Training

    The Lean Manufacturing training curriculum in Chile is structured across nine modules, taking learners from foundational Lean thinking and waste identification through to advanced production system design, error-proofing, and sustaining continuous improvement culture.

    The Lean Toolkit You Will Put to Work

    Shop-Floor Skills, Not Just Theory

    In Lean Manufacturing Training you will learn to apply the full Toyota Production System toolkit, from spotting the eight wastes to building flow, pull and continuous improvement. Each skill is practised on realistic plant scenarios so you can use it at work straight away.

    Identify and Remove the Eight Wastes

    Use the DOWNTIME framework and Gemba waste walks to spot defects, overproduction, waiting, unused talent, transport, inventory, motion and extra processing, then quantify and prioritise them for elimination.

    Map Value Streams End to End

    Build current-state and future-state value stream maps, calculate takt time, locate the bottleneck and target the flows where lead time and inventory are hiding.

    Organise Work with 5S and Visual Management

    Apply Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain, and use Andon, production boards and floor markings so that normal and abnormal conditions are visible at a glance.

    Build Pull with Kanban and JIT

    Design pull systems, size kanban cards and supermarkets, and move from push scheduling to Just-in-Time production that limits work in progress and stops overproduction.

    Lift Reliability with TPM and OEE

    Apply Total Productive Maintenance and calculate OEE as Availability times Performance times Quality, interpret the six big losses and target world-class performance above 85%.

    Standardise, Change over Fast and Level Load

    Write standard work, cut changeover time with SMED, level volume and mix with Heijunka, mistake-proof with Poka Yoke, and drive daily Kaizen and A3 problem solving.
