    What Kaizen Training Delivers for Slovenian ProfessionalsA Practical Route to Continuous Improvement

    Kaizen training in Slovenia is a practical, one-day continuous improvement course that equips you to lead and take part in structured Kaizen improvement events. Rooted in the Japanese philosophy of change for the better and developed within the Toyota Production System, Kaizen builds the habit of making small, incremental improvements that compound into major gains in quality, speed and cost. Over eight hours of instructor-led learning, you cover the Kaizen mindset, the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, the eight wastes of Lean, and the tools that make improvement stick: 5S, Gemba walks, standard work and the Kaizen event. Hands-on workshop simulations let you practise planning and facilitating an event on realistic process scenarios. This is a non-certification skills course with no examination. Operations managers, team leaders, quality engineers and Lean practitioners across Slovenian manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and logistics use it to cut waste and sustain results. Start building continuous improvement capability with Invensis Learning.

    Skills You Will Build in Kaizen TrainingPractical Tools You Can Use Immediately

    You will learn the full Kaizen method in a single day: how to run a continuous improvement event from planning through to sustaining results. Each skill maps to a tool used on the shop floor and in service operations, so you can apply it straight away.

    Apply the Kaizen Mindset

    Understand Kaizen as both a daily habit and a structured event. Learn why small, incremental improvements by everyone outperform occasional large changes, and how the approach fits within Lean and the Toyota Production System.

    Use the PDCA Cycle

    Work through Plan-Do-Check-Act to define a problem, trial a countermeasure, check the result and standardise what works. Turn PDCA into a repeatable loop for solving everyday process problems.

    See and Eliminate Waste

    Identify the eight wastes of Lean (DOWNTIME) and the concepts of Muda, Mura and Muri. Use Gemba walks, the 5 Whys and fishbone analysis to find root causes and remove non-value-adding work.

    Plan and Facilitate a Kaizen Event

    Select the right target, set measurable objectives, assemble a cross-functional team and prepare baseline data. Facilitate the event through observation, root cause analysis, future-state design and implementation.

    Apply 5S and Standard Work

    Use Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain to organise the workspace, then lock in improvements with standard work, spaghetti diagrams and time observation so gains do not slip back.

    Sustain a Culture of Improvement

    Use the Kaizen newspaper, visual management and 30-60-90 day follow-up to hold gains. Learn the leadership behaviours and daily routines that embed continuous improvement across a team or site.

    General

    What is Kaizen training?

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

    Assessment

    How are you assessed during Kaizen training?

    There is no formal test or assessment. Kaizen training is a practical, non-certification course, so learning is reinforced through hands-on workshop simulations, team exercises and group discussion rather than a graded assessment.

    Do I receive a certificate after Kaizen training?

    You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning after finishing the one-day programme. This is a record of completion rather than a formal credential, as Kaizen is a methodology with no awarding body.

    What will I be able to do after the training?

    You will be able to plan and facilitate a Kaizen event, apply the PDCA cycle, identify and remove the eight wastes, use 5S and standard work, and embed daily improvement habits to sustain gains in your workplace.

    How long is the Kaizen training?

    The course runs for one day (eight hours), or as two half-day sessions totalling eight hours. It covers the Kaizen philosophy, PDCA cycle, event planning and facilitation, Lean tools and sustaining improvement, with workshop simulations throughout.

    How does Kaizen relate to Lean and Six Sigma?

    Kaizen is a core engine of Lean and the Toyota Production System, and Kaizen events are used in the Improve and Control phases of Six Sigma DMAIC. It also supports continual improvement under ISO 9001:2015.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Kaizen training cover?

    The programme covers six modules: the Kaizen philosophy, the PDCA cycle and thinking tools, planning a Kaizen event, running a Kaizen event, Kaizen tools in practice such as 5S and standard work, and sustaining a continuous improvement culture.

    What tools will I learn in the Kaizen course?

    You will learn Gemba walks, the 5 Whys, fishbone diagrams, the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), 5S, standard work, spaghetti diagrams, time observation and the Kaizen newspaper for tracking actions after an event.

    Are there practical exercises in the training?

    Yes. Hands-on workshop simulations run throughout the day, so you practise planning and facilitating a Kaizen event on realistic process scenarios rather than only learning theory.

    Can beginners take the Kaizen course?

    Yes. The course is beginner-friendly and starts from first principles, so no prior Lean or continuous improvement experience is required. It suits both newcomers and experienced practitioners.

    Is the content suitable for service and office teams?

    Yes. Although Kaizen began on the factory floor, the same tools improve service, administrative and office processes. Examples can be tailored to sectors such as logistics, pharmaceuticals and financial services in Slovenia.
