Toyota, Boeing, and Nike are just a few organizations that have used Lean principles to help them become successful. Your organization, too, can incorporate Lean process improvement techniques into your corporate culture to minimize waste and maximize value.
Lean principles have come a long way over the past 300 years. From Benjamin Franklin's early ideas, to Henry Ford's work in the 1920's and the Toyoda precepts in the 1930's, to Jeffery Liker's publication of The Toyota Way in 2004, Lean processes have evolved from a simple concept to a set of widely used best practices.
This course will give participants the foundation to begin implementing Lean process improvement tools in their organization.
The first part of the course will explore the foundations of Lean through the Toyota precepts and the five critical improvement concepts (value, waste, variation, complexity, and continuous improvement).
The second part of the course will give participants tools to perform continuous improvement in their organization, including 5S, 5W-2H, PDSA, DMAIC, Kaizen, Genchi Genbutsu, and various Lean data mapping methods.

Training Information
Delivery: E-learning (interactive, self-paced & convenient, and affordable)
How It Works: Using the unique login information we will send, simply access our learning portal with your browser and start learning.
Our training is self-paced and so you’ll take it at your convenience – any time of the day that suits your schedule and as frequently as you like until you finish the course.
Anywhere you stop temporarily is automatically saved so when you resume you continue from there by default.
Duration: Because it's self-paced, participants finish at different times. However, on the average, busy participants finish in 1 week.
Reports: We send periodic reports to your organization until all employees complete their training. For each participant, the reports show progress, performance score, total time spent learning, and the last time course was accessed.
Certificate: Each participant receives a certificate of training if course is successfully completed.
Access period: 30 days (can be extended).
Access device: Computer, Smartphone, or Tablet.
Comes with: Course transcripts for reference, and 100% money-back guarantee.
Learning Management & Support: We will be in touch with all participants to encourage and support them until they finish. Our clients' employees always achieve high completion rate.
Learning Outcome: The learning outcome compares favorably with that of conventional training. This is because of increased level of participation through interactivity and self-paced ownership of the learning.
Participants will have the ability to stop and reflect whenever they want, or return to previously-delivered content, and thus ensure a deeper understanding before continuing. They will have the time to digest and integrate information being presented into their existing understanding and context. This is how they make sense of it leading to higher levels of cognitive engagement and higher levels of retention.
For the best learning outcome, we recommend that training be taken in chunks of minutes consistently rather than taking it in a long stretch trying to finish quickly.
