    Where Lean Skills Take Your Career in Fiji

    Roles, Demand and Pay

    Lean skills, and the Lean Manufacturing training that builds them, are increasingly valued across Fiji's manufacturing base, from food and beverage processing to garments, mineral water bottling and sugar milling. As import-reliant plants fight to protect margins and meet export standards, employers want people who can remove waste, lift equipment uptime and improve flow. Demand runs from shop-floor supervisors and manufacturing engineers up to production and operations managers, and here is what the local market looks like now.

    Why Fiji's Factories Are Turning to Lean

    Lean is more than a set of tools. It is a way to help Fiji's factories compete on cost, quality and speed. Join the professionals turning waste into value on the shop floor. Start your Lean journey today.

    Your Fiji Career Transformation

    Where You Stand Today on the Factory Floor

    Your Lean Transformation

    Fiji's manufacturers are under real pressure from imported inputs, a small home market and demanding export buyers, and they increasingly reward the people who can make production leaner. Here is which side of that line you want to be on.

    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

    Skills You Will Build in This Programme

    Tools You Can Use on Monday Morning

    Skills covered in Lean Manufacturing training run the full Toyota Production System toolkit. By the end of the day you can run a waste walk, sketch a value stream map, set up 5S, size a kanban system, calculate OEE and lead a Kaizen improvement on your own shop floor.

    See and Eliminate the Eight Wastes

    Identify the eight wastes (DOWNTIME) through Gemba waste walks, then quantify and prioritise them so you target the losses that cost your plant the most.

    Map the Value Stream End to End

    Draw current and future-state value stream maps, calculate takt time, find the bottleneck and design smoother flow from raw material to finished goods.

    Organise the Workplace with 5S

    Apply Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain, plus visual management such as Andon and production boards, to make abnormalities visible at a glance.

    Design Pull Systems and Kanban

    Move from push to pull, size kanban loops and supermarkets, and apply Just-in-Time thinking to curb overproduction and cut work-in-progress inventory.

    Lift Reliability with TPM and OEE

    Use Total Productive Maintenance and autonomous maintenance, and calculate Overall Equipment Effectiveness across availability, performance and quality to target the six big losses.

    Apply Standard Work, SMED and Kaizen

    Write standard work, cut changeover time with SMED, level production with Heijunka and run Kaizen improvements that build a lasting continuous improvement culture.
