Does this course give me a Lean certification?

No formal Lean certification or credential is awarded, as there is no governing body or exam for this introductory training. You receive a course completion certificate, and the awareness and tool knowledge you build apply immediately in any industry.

How is my learning assessed during the training?

Learning is assessed informally through hands-on activities such as classifying wastes in realistic scenarios, interpreting a simple value stream map and a 5S workplace assessment. There is no scored exam or pass mark.

What can I do after completing this course?

After the course you can identify waste in your own work, discuss improvements using a shared vocabulary and apply PDCA to small changes. It is also the ideal foundation for Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen and Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt training.

What topics does the training cover?

The training covers Lean origins and the Toyota Production System, the five Lean principles, the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), foundational tools including 5S, value stream mapping, Kanban and standard work, Kaizen and PDCA, and how Lean applies across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics and services.

What Lean tools will I learn to use?

You will learn to apply 5S, read a value stream map, use Kanban and pull systems, follow standard work, use visual management, and run improvements with the PDCA cycle and Gemba walks. Each tool is introduced with practical examples.

What are the eight wastes (DOWNTIME)?

DOWNTIME stands for Defects, Overproduction, Waiting, Non-utilised talent, Transportation, Inventory, Motion and Extra processing. The course teaches you to recognise each of these wastes and to practise spotting them in your own processes.

Is the training hands-on?

Yes. The day combines short concept explanations with interactive exercises, including a waste-identification activity, a value stream map reading exercise and a 5S assessment, plus case discussions that connect Lean to your own work.

How long is the training and what format is it?

The course runs for one day, eight hours in total, and can also be split into two half-day sessions. It is delivered online as live virtual instructor-led training, in the classroom, or onsite for corporate teams.

What Is Driving Demand for Lean Skills in the Netherlands

Tight Labour Market

With Dutch unemployment near record lows, employers cannot simply hire their way to more output. Lean skills let existing teams do more by cutting the eight wastes from daily work.

Lean helps teams do more without adding headcount

High-Tech Cost and Cycle Pressure

Semiconductor and precision firms in Brainport Eindhoven face relentless cost and lead-time pressure. Lean flow, standard work and Kaizen keep intricate production lines efficient.

Lean flow keeps complex production competitive

Logistics and Supply Chain Strain

Rotterdam, Schiphol and the wider distribution network handle huge volumes. Value stream mapping and pull systems cut waiting, inventory and handling waste across the supply chain.

Lean reduces delay and inventory across the chain

Energy and Margin Squeeze

High energy costs press Dutch manufacturers and processors to protect margins. Removing overproduction and waste is the fastest route to leaner, lower-cost operations.

Lean protects margins by removing waste

Hidden Waste in Services

Banks, insurers and shared-service centres carry hidden rework and waiting time. Lean thinking makes this office waste visible and removes it from administrative processes.

Lean exposes rework in office processes

Building an Improvement Culture

Many Dutch firms deploy Lean enterprise-wide but lack a shared vocabulary. Foundational Lean training gives every employee the mindset and language that improvement programmes need.

Lean gives every employee a common method

Sources: ING, PwC, CBS (Dutch labour market and manufacturing) 2026.

Lean Fundamentals is more than a course. It is the shared language of continuous improvement. Join Dutch professionals learning to spot waste and improve flow, and start applying Lean at work today.

Your Netherlands Lean Journey

Your Team Before and After Learning Lean

A Practical Transformation

Dutch employers increasingly expect staff at every level to spot waste and improve flow, not just senior specialists. Here is how a single day of foundational Lean training changes the way you and your team work.

After Lean

Every team member contributes small daily Kaizen improvements

You Learn to See Waste

Before

Waste stays invisible, so problems get worked around, not solved

Now you can

You spot and classify the eight wastes (DOWNTIME) in your own work

Before

Improvement ideas stall without a shared, repeatable method

Now you can

You apply the five Lean principles and PDCA to structure improvement

Before

You rely on specialists to run every process change

Now you can

You use 5S, standard work and Kanban to improve flow yourself

Before

Lean is a term you hear often but cannot act on

Now you can

You speak the common Lean language your programme runs on

"In Lean organisations, the people closest to the work are the ones who improve it. Foundational training is what unlocks that."
