Lean Basic training

Learn what Lean Management can do for your business in just one day. Train all your employees so they can support your Lean program.

This training is usually given as an introduction to all employees of a company that is rolling out a Lean program. After this training everyone can support the Lean program in his or her own way. A must for total Lean involvement.

The program contains the following Lean-tools *):

  • Why Lean?
  • Value Added / Non Value Added
  • Push vs Pull
  • Stroke Time
  • Kanban
  • 5 steps to Lean
  • Spaghetti chart
  • Flow / cell production
  • Value folders (Current & Future)
  • 5-S
  • 7 deadly waste
  • SMED – TPM
  • Pareto analysis, Pick chart
  • Six Sigma (introduction)
  • Business Value stream mapping
  • Visual management
  • Configuring Flows according to Configure-to-Order
  • Discussion about applicability within one’s own organisation, including current opportunities, bottle-necks and preconditions of the Lean program.

During the training day we will also use our Lean game “The Toy Box Company”. This game is played in 4 rounds in which step by step the underlying Lean tools are explained and then applied to give a clearer picture of the impact of these tools.

In addition, several small practical exercises are done during the day.
