    Module 2: Lean Mentality / Muda (Waste) Elimination

    • Understanding the concept of the hidden factory and the hidden office, and how non-value-adding activities consume resources without contributing to customer value in both manufacturing and administrative environments
    • Exploring the seven types of waste in Lean, including overproduction, waiting, transportation, over-processing, inventory, motion, and defects, and how each type manifests across different operational contexts
    • Developing the skills to identify waste within processes through systematic observation, process analysis, and the application of Lean waste identification tools
    • Learning the strategies and principles used to eliminate or reduce waste once identified, and the role of cultural and behavioural change in sustaining waste reduction over time

    Module 3: Mapping the Value Stream

    • Understanding the purpose and methodology of value stream mapping as a tool for visualizing the complete flow of materials and information required to deliver a product or service to the customer
    • Exploring different types of value stream maps, including current-state maps that document existing processes and future-state maps that define the improved process design
    • Learning how to create and interpret value stream maps to identify areas of waste, delay, and inefficiency within a process and to prioritise improvement actions
    • Understanding how value stream mapping provides the analytical foundation for planning and executing Lean improvement events and targeted process changes

    Module 4: Lean Events

    • Exploring the Kaizen event as a focused, team-based improvement activity designed to achieve significant process change within a short and defined timeframe
    • Understanding the structure and stages of a standard five-day Kaizen event, from preparation and scoping through to execution, solution testing, and results presentation
    • Learning how to plan and run shorter Lean events when the scope or available time requires a condensed improvement activity without sacrificing rigor or impact
    • Developing the facilitation and team management skills needed to lead Lean events effectively and ensure that improvement gains are sustained after the event concludes

    Module 5: Constraints

    • Understanding the concept of process constraints and how bottlenecks in process flow limit the throughput, efficiency, and capacity of the entire value stream
    • Learning systematic approaches for identifying constraints within a process, including observation-based methods, data analysis, and value stream review techniques
    • Exploring strategies for addressing bottlenecks, including process redesign, resource reallocation, workload balancing, and targeted improvement activities
    • Understanding the relationship between constraint management and broader Lean improvement efforts, and how resolving bottlenecks contributes to overall flow and value stream performance

    Module 6: Flow and Takt Time

    • Exploring the principle of flow in Lean and how continuous, uninterrupted movement of work through the value stream minimizes waiting, batching, and inventory accumulation
    • Understanding Takt time as the rate at which products or services must be produced to match customer demand, and how Takt time is calculated and applied in process design
    • Learning how to use Takt time as a planning tool to set the rhythm of production flow and ensure that process capacity is aligned to actual customer demand
    • Examining the relationship between flow, Takt time, and the broader Lean goal of delivering value to the customer efficiently, consistently, and without waste

    Module 7: Pull Systems and Kanban

    • Understanding the principles of pull-based production, in which work is initiated by actual customer demand rather than forecast-driven schedules or upstream production push
    • Exploring the Kanban system as a simple and visual method for signalling demand and controlling the flow of work, materials, and information through a process
    • Learning how to design and implement a basic Kanban system, including the selection of signal types, determination of replenishment quantities, and establishment of workflow rules
    • Understanding how pull systems and Kanban reduce overproduction, excess inventory, and lead time while improving process responsiveness to changing customer demand

    Module 8: 5S Implementation

    • Exploring the five elements of 5S, including Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise, and Sustain, and how each element contributes to a safe, organised, and efficient workplace
    • Learning the systematic approach to implementing 5S across a work area or department, from initial assessment and Sort activities through to the development of standardised procedures and audit routines
    • Understanding how 5S creates the physical and organisational foundation that Lean tools and improvement activities require to function effectively and sustainably
    • Developing the skills to sustain 5S gains over time through visual management, regular audits, team accountability, and the integration of 5S standards into daily work habits

    Module 9: Lean Management Principles

    • Understanding the key principles of Lean management and how they guide the implementation and ongoing operation of Lean systems within organizations
    • Exploring the leadership behaviors, management practices, and organisational structures that enable Lean to move from a set of tools to a sustained operational discipline
    • Learning how to develop and communicate a Lean implementation strategy that aligns improvement activities with organisational goals, resource availability, and process maturity
    • Understanding the role of performance measurement, visual management, and continuous review in sustaining Lean improvements and building a long-term culture of operational excellence

    The Lean Skills You Will Put to Work

    5S, Kanban and Kaizen in Practice

    By the end of this one-day programme you will be able to identify waste, read a value stream and apply the core Lean tools in your own work. Each skill maps to the methods continuous improvement teams use across Colombian industry.

    See Value Through the Customer's Eyes

    Apply the five Lean principles to define what the customer actually values, using Voice of the Customer and Critical to Quality thinking to separate value-adding work from waste.

    Spot the Eight Wastes (DOWNTIME)

    Identify and classify Defects, Overproduction, Waiting, Non-utilised talent, Transportation, Inventory, Motion and Extra processing, plus Muda, Mura and Muri, in real work scenarios.

    Organise the Workplace with 5S

    Use Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain to build a clean, visual and efficient workspace that makes problems obvious and supports safe, steady flow.

    Map and Improve the Value Stream

    Read a current-state value stream map, compare total lead time with value-adding time, and see where flow breaks down so improvement can be prioritised.

    Build Pull with Kanban and Standard Work

    Understand push versus pull, use Kanban signals to control work in progress, and apply standard work with takt time to keep quality and flow consistent.

    Drive Improvement with Kaizen and PDCA

    Run small, repeatable improvements using the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, Kaizen and the Gemba walk, and help build a lasting continuous improvement mindset.

    Darshan Deshbhandari

    (5.0/5)

    "The training exceeded my expectations in every way. The balance between compact theory and core essentials made the content clear, focused, and immediately applicable. The learning kit was exceptionally well-prepared—high-quality materials, detailed visuals, exam questions, clear instructions, and an included exam voucher made it truly great value for the money. What stood out most was the trainer's (Pratap Kumar) authenticity and dedication. You could feel that he genuinely wanted us to learn and succeed. His honest, straightforward approach built trust and kept the session engaging from start to finish. I also appreciated the interactive format and real-life examples, which grounded the theory in everyday situations. Hearing Carlas’ experiences and comparing practices across companies brought in valuable perspective. I only wish more participants had been involved to deepen the experience exchange. Overall, this was a highly valuable, well-delivered training that left me motivated and well-equipped to put what I’ve learned into action. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for meaningful, real-world-focused learning."
