    Skills You Will Build in This Programme

    Practical Lean Tools for IT

    This Lean IT Foundation programme builds practical, on-the-job skills across the full eight-module syllabus. By the end you can identify waste, map value streams, measure performance and lead continuous improvement in IT.

    Lean Principles Applied to IT

    You will learn what Lean IT is and how to apply the five Lean principles (customer value, value stream, flow, pull and perfection) to IT services. Understand waste (muda), variability (mura) and overburden (muri), and classify activities as value-add, necessary non-value-add or non-value-add.

    Focusing on Customer Value

    Capture the Voice of the Customer (VoC), translate it into Critical to Quality (CTQ) requirements, and keep IT work aligned to what customers actually value across your services.

    Mapping and Improving Processes

    Use the SIPOC model and Value Stream Mapping to see how work flows, apply push and pull thinking, and use tools like Heijunka and 5S to remove waste and improve process metrics.

    Enhancing Operational Performance

    Apply the Deming circle (PDCA), define Key Performance Indicators, and use Process Cycle Efficiency to measure and improve how quickly and reliably IT delivers.

    Visual Management and Kanban

    Set up Kanban and other visual management boards, strengthen the communication cascade, and build the organisational habits that keep Lean improvement going day to day.

    Kaizen and Structured Problem Solving

    Apply the Kaizen mindset and the DMAIC model to solve problems, understand Kakushin and Kaikaku, and lead continuous improvement using Lean leadership and the Shingo model.
