    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

    Lean Tools You Will Master on the FloorHands-On Tools for Real Plants

    This programme turns theory into shop-floor capability. By the end of the day you can identify waste, map a value stream, run 5S, design a kanban pull system, calculate OEE and lead a kaizen event in your own plant, all grounded in the Toyota Production System.

    Spot and Eliminate the Eight Wastes

    Walk the Gemba and classify every activity using the eight DOWNTIME wastes, then quantify and prioritise what to remove first. You also learn to recognise mura (unevenness) and muri (overburden) that generate waste.

    Map Value Streams End to End

    Draw current-state value stream maps with standard symbols, capture cycle time, changeover and inventory data, calculate takt time, find the bottleneck, and design a leaner future state that flows.

    Organise the Workplace with 5S

    Apply Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain, plus visual management such as andon, floor markings and production boards, to create a clean, safe and productive shop floor that reveals abnormalities fast.

    Design Pull Systems with Kanban and JIT

    Move from push to pull, size kanban loops and supermarkets, and apply Just-in-Time principles so each step produces only what the next one has consumed, cutting overproduction and inventory.

    Measure Equipment Health with TPM and OEE

    Calculate OEE as Availability times Performance times Quality, interpret the six big losses, and use Total Productive Maintenance and autonomous maintenance to keep equipment reliable and running.

    Standardise Work and Lead Kaizen

    Write standard work using takt time, work sequence and standard WIP, apply SMED for quick changeover and heijunka for levelling, and facilitate kaizen and A3 problem-solving to sustain improvement.

    What Our Learners Say

    Practical from the First Hour

    "The waste walk and value stream mapping exercises were the highlight. I went back to our line the next week, mapped it, and found two clear bottlenecks we had been living with for years. The trainer clearly knew the shop floor, not just the theory."

    Alejandro Ramirez

    Manufacturing Engineer

    The Tools Finally Clicked

    "I finally understand how kanban, takt time and OEE fit together. The OEE calculation exercise made it real for me, and I now use it to prioritise which machines to improve first. Genuinely useful training that I could apply straight away."

    Mariana Torres

    Continuous Improvement Specialist

    0/0

    Something My Team Could Use

    "As a supervisor I wanted something I could use with my team, not a lecture. The 5S and standard work sections gave me exactly that. We started a 5S board on our line and the difference in how fast people find tools is already noticeable."

    Luis Hernandez

    Production Supervisor

    0/0

    Whole Team, One Lean Language

    "We ran this onsite for a cross-functional group before an IATF audit. Having operators, engineers and maintenance learn the same Lean language together paid off immediately in our kaizen events. Delivery and coordination were excellent."

    Gabriela Nunez

    Operations Manager, Automotive Tier 1 Supplier

    0/0

    Tailored to Our Real Lines

    "Invensis tailored the exercises to our appliance lines, so the examples felt like our own plant. The team came away able to run waste walks and size kanban loops themselves. A strong, practical investment in our operational excellence programme."
