    Where Lean Manufacturing Takes You in Trinidad and TobagoRoles and Pay

    Lean skills, the kind you build through Lean Manufacturing training, are valued right across Trinidad and Tobago's manufacturing base, from food and beverage and petrochemicals to cement, consumer goods and packaging. As the country works to diversify beyond oil and gas and grow non-energy exports, employers increasingly want people who can eliminate waste, improve flow and lift productivity. Demand runs from production supervisor and quality roles up to continuous improvement, operations and plant management, and here is what the local market is telling us right now.

    Why Lean Skills Are in Demand Across Trinidad and Tobago's Factories

    Lean is more than a set of tools. It is how competitive manufacturers protect margins and grow exports. Join the professionals in Trinidad and Tobago who are cutting waste and lifting output. Start your journey today.

    Your Trinidad and Tobago Lean Transformation

    From Daily Firefighting to Steady, Flowing Production

    Your Lean Transformation

    Trinidad and Tobago's manufacturers face real cost, forex and energy pressure, and the plants that pull ahead are the ones whose people can systematically remove waste. Here is the shift Lean training makes for you and your operation.

    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
    • Building a long-term Lean transformation roadmap, engaging cross-functional teams, and developing internal Lean practitioner capability to drive ongoing operational excellence

    The Lean Tools You Will Put to WorkA Complete Shop-Floor Toolkit

    By the end of the day you will be able to run a waste walk, sketch a value stream map, set up a 5S zone, design a simple kanban pull system, calculate OEE and plan a Kaizen improvement. Every skill below is drawn from the Lean manufacturing toolkit and practised through hands-on exercises.

    Spot and Eliminate the Eight Wastes

    Learn to recognise and remove the eight wastes (DOWNTIME): defects, overproduction, waiting, non-utilised talent, transportation, inventory, motion and extra processing, using Gemba waste walks in real production areas.

    Map Value Streams End to End

    Use value stream mapping to visualise material and information flow, calculate takt time, find the bottleneck, and design a leaner future-state map that becomes your improvement roadmap.

    Organise the Workplace with 5S

    Apply the five steps of 5S (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise, Sustain) and visual management, including Andon and production boards, to build a safer, cleaner and more productive floor.

    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 step has consumed, cutting overproduction and inventory.

    Lift Equipment Uptime with TPM and OEE

    Understand Total Productive Maintenance and its pillars, calculate Overall Equipment Effectiveness (Availability x Performance x Quality), and target the six big losses to recover hidden capacity.

    Standardise Work and Cut Changeover Time

    Build standard work around takt time and sequence, then apply SMED to slash changeover time, alongside Heijunka levelling and poka yoke mistake-proofing to sustain flow and quality.

    What Our Learners Say

    Practical from the First Hour

    "The waste walk and value stream mapping exercises changed how I see our line. Within a week I ran a 5S project in my area and cut the time we spend searching for tools. The trainer kept everything practical and tied to real production."

    Anil Maharaj

    Production Supervisor

    0/0

    OEE Finally Made Sense

    "Calculating OEE and understanding the six big losses gave me a clear way to argue for maintenance improvements. I finally have the language and the numbers to make the case on the floor."

    Kavita Ramoutar

    Manufacturing Engineer

    0/0

    Better Quality Through Lean

    "As a quality officer I found the poka yoke and standard work sessions the most useful. The link between Lean flow and built-in quality is something I now apply every day to reduce our defect rate."

    Shivana Persad

    Quality Officer

    0/0

    On-Site Training That Delivered

    "We ran the training on site for a cross-functional team. Having operators, supervisors and engineers learn the same tools together meant the kanban and 5S changes actually stuck. Throughput on our packing line improved noticeably."

    Marlon Joseph

    Operations Director, Food and Beverage

    0/0

    A Strong Start to Our Lean Journey

    "We used the programme to kick off a continuous improvement culture across two plants. The common Lean vocabulary and the hands-on Kaizen approach gave our supervisors a repeatable way to drive out waste under real cost pressure."
