    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

    The Lean Tools You Will Put to WorkSkills Covered in the Training

    This training turns the full Toyota Production System toolkit into skills you can apply straight away. By the end of the one-day programme you can identify waste, improve flow, and lead practical improvements on your own production lines.

    Read and Build Value Stream Maps

    You will learn to map the flow of materials and information across a value stream, spot where waste hides, and design a leaner future state that shortens lead time.

    Spot and Remove the Eight Wastes

    Identify and classify waste using the DOWNTIME framework: defects, overproduction, waiting, non-utilised talent, transport, inventory, motion and extra processing on the shop floor.

    Apply the Five Lean Principles

    Put the Toyota Production System principles into practice: identify value, map the value stream, create flow, establish pull and pursue perfection through continuous improvement.

    Organise the Workplace with 5S

    Plan and run a 5S programme (sort, set in order, shine, standardise, sustain) and use visual management so abnormalities are seen and fixed at once.

    Design Pull Systems and Kanban

    Move production from push to pull, size supermarkets, and calculate Kanban quantities so each step makes only what the next one has consumed.

    Lift Equipment Uptime with TPM and OEE

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

    Cut Changeover Time with SMED

    Use Single-Minute Exchange of Die to separate internal and external setup, shrink changeover time and make smaller, more flexible batches viable.

    Lead Kaizen and Standard Work

    Write standard work, run focused Kaizen improvement events, and apply Poka Yoke mistake-proofing to build a lasting culture of continuous improvement.

    What Our Learners Say

    Practical from the First Hour

    "The waste-walk exercise changed how I look at our line. Within a week of the training I ran a 5S session on my area and we cut the time spent searching for tools almost in half. The trainer kept everything practical and tied to real production."

    Anand Persaud

    Production Supervisor

    0/0

    Clear Tools I Could Use Straight Away

    "Value stream mapping and the OEE calculation were the highlights for me. I finally have a clear way to show where our lead time goes and where uptime is being lost. I applied both to a bottleneck the same week."

    Shivani Ramkissoon

    Manufacturing Engineer

    0/0

    Strong Grounding in Lean Thinking

    "A solid grounding in the Toyota Production System without the jargon. The eight wastes and Poka Yoke sections were especially useful for our quality work. I would have liked even more time on SMED, but the day was well spent."

    Colin Adams

    Quality Officer

    0/0

    Real Impact for Our Production Team

    "We booked the onsite session for our production team and it gave everyone a common language for improvement. The exercises used our own shop floor, so the ideas were relevant immediately. We have already seen inventory come down on two lines."

    Natasha Fraser

    Operations Manager, Food Processing

    0/0

    Landed Well Across the Whole Team

    "As an L&D lead I needed training that would land with shop-floor teams, not just managers. Invensis delivered a hands-on, well-structured programme that our supervisors are still applying months later. Coordination and support were excellent throughout."
