What Is Lean Manufacturing?Your Route to Leaner Production

The Lean Manufacturing Training is a practical, instructor-led program that teaches you how to eliminate waste, improve production flow, and deliver more value to customers using the proven methods of the Toyota Production System (TPS). In a focused one-day session, you learn the five Lean principles, how to spot and remove the eight wastes known as DOWNTIME, and how to apply core tools such as 5S, value stream mapping, kanban, and Kaizen.

The course is built for production and manufacturing managers, engineers, operations supervisors, team leaders, quality professionals, and continuous improvement coordinators. No prior Lean experience is needed, and there is no exam. Instead, you work through real manufacturing scenarios and hands-on exercises so the skills stick.

With reshoring, tight labor markets, and pressure to do more with less shaping factories in 2026, employers value people who can cut lead times, reduce inventory, and raise productivity. Start building that capability with Invensis Learning.

Why Manufacturers Need Lean Talent in 2026

Rising Cost and Waste Pressure

Margin pressure pushes manufacturers to cut every non-value-adding step. Professionals who can find and remove the eight wastes directly protect productivity and profitability.

Learn to find and remove the eight wastes

A Widening Skills Shortage

With hundreds of thousands of manufacturing roles unfilled in 2026, plants need people who can raise output from existing teams through Lean methods, not only new hires.

Raise output from the teams you already have

Reshoring and New Capacity

Reshoring and fresh investment are spinning up new lines and plants. Building waste-free, high-flow operations from day one demands hands-on Lean expertise.

Stand up efficient operations from the start

Fragile, Costly Supply Chains

Volatile supply chains make excess inventory expensive and risky. Just-in-Time and pull systems help teams carry less stock while still meeting customer demand.

Use pull systems to hold less stock

Relentless Quality Expectations

Customers and regulators expect near-zero defects. Built-in quality tools such as poka yoke and standard work stop errors at the source instead of catching them late.

Build quality in with poka yoke and standard work

The Push Toward Smart Factories

As plants add automation and data, Lean remains the foundation. Stable, standardized processes are what make smart-factory investment deliver a real return.

Make automation investment actually pay off

Root Cause Analysis

Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

Lean Manufacturing is a systematic method for eliminating waste from production so every step adds value for the customer. Rooted in the Toyota Production System, it uses the five Lean principles and tools like 5S, value stream mapping, kanban, and Kaizen to improve flow, cut lead time, and lower cost.

General

What is Lean Manufacturing?

Who should take this Lean Manufacturing training?

The training is built for production and manufacturing managers, engineers, operations supervisors, team leaders, quality professionals, maintenance managers, and continuous improvement coordinators. Anyone working in or responsible for a production operation will benefit, with no prior Lean experience required.

Is this training worth it for my career?

Yes. Lean skills are in demand across automotive, aerospace, pharma, food, and electronics, and support roles from production supervisor to operational excellence director. You gain practical tools you can apply from day one to improve output, quality, and cost. Talk to a learning advisor to plan your path.

Do I need any prior experience to attend?

No. There are no prerequisites. The course introduces Lean Manufacturing from first principles, so beginners and experienced professionals alike can follow along. Prior manufacturing exposure is helpful but not required.

Which framework is this training based on?

The training is based on the Toyota Production System (TPS), developed at Toyota by Taiichi Ohno and Shigeo Shingo and later popularized worldwide by James Womack and Daniel Jones. It covers the five Lean principles, the eight wastes, and the core TPS toolkit.

Pricing

How much does the Lean Manufacturing training cost?

Pricing varies by delivery mode (live online, classroom, or corporate) and group size. Individual and group rates are available on request. Contact us for a quote or to ask about corporate and group pricing.

What is included in the course fee?

The fee typically includes instructor-led sessions, structured courseware, hands-on Lean tool exercises, downloadable templates, learner support, and a course completion certificate. Ask a learning advisor for the details of your chosen format.

Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

Yes. We offer volume-based pricing for teams, business units, and multi-site programs, with customized schedules and content. Request a group quote and we will tailor it to your organization.

Are there payment or installment options?

We accept major cards and bank transfers, and offer flexible options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

Is there any separate certification or exam fee?

No. This is a non-certification training course, so there is no exam or external credential fee. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning as part of the program.

Assessment

Is there an exam for this course?

No. Lean Manufacturing is a non-certification training course with no exam. Learning is reinforced through hands-on exercises, waste identification activities, and real manufacturing case examples during the program.

What will I receive after completing the training?

You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. There is no external credential; instead you gain a practical Lean toolkit you can apply immediately to waste reduction and process improvement.

How is my learning assessed?

There is no formal test. You apply the tools through guided exercises such as waste walks, value stream mapping, 5S assessment, kanban sizing, and OEE calculation, so you practice each method during the session.

Will I be able to apply Lean tools right away?

Yes. By the end you can run a waste walk, read and build a value stream map, launch 5S, design a kanban pull system, calculate OEE, write standard work, and lead Kaizen improvements on the shop floor.

Does this course lead to a Lean credential?

No. It is a skills-focused training program, not a credential track. It does build a strong foundation if you later choose to pursue broader improvement programs such as Lean Six Sigma, which you can explore separately.

Course Content

What topics does the Lean Manufacturing course cover?

The course covers the Toyota Production System and five Lean principles, the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), value stream mapping, 5S and visual management, pull systems and kanban, JIT, TPM and OEE, standard work, SMED, Heijunka, poka yoke, and building a Kaizen culture.

How long is the training?

The program runs as a focused one-day, eight-hour session covering all core Lean topics, with hands-on exercises throughout. It can also be split into two half-days depending on the schedule.

Are there hands-on exercises?

Yes. You work through practical activities including Gemba waste walks, value stream data collection, 5S workplace assessment, kanban quantity calculation, OEE calculation, and standard work observation using realistic scenarios.

What are the eight wastes I will learn to spot?

You learn the eight wastes remembered as DOWNTIME: Defects, Overproduction, Waiting, Non-utilized talent, Transportation, Inventory, Motion, and Extra processing, plus the related concepts of Mura and Muri.

What materials are provided?

You receive structured courseware, Lean tool templates, worked examples, and reference guides for tools like value stream mapping, 5S, kanban, and OEE, so you can keep applying them after the session.

Enrollment

How do I enroll in the Lean Manufacturing training?

You can enroll through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete payment, and you receive access to schedules, courseware, and learning resources. See upcoming batches or talk to an advisor to get started.
