Course Summary

Lean thinking is the cornerstone of an efficient and lean enterprise. This Lean Thinking training course provides a comprehensive coverage of lean techniques that enable organisations to create more customer value with less resources. Lean Thinking has successfully challenged traditional mass production practices, by providing ‘leaner’ processes and supply chains with less waste. Lean Thinking promotes a positive mindset where employees are encouraged and motivated to search for problems, to think and solve them proactively.
