Lean Manufacturing Academy: Certified Master Lean Course. Enhance Your Skills in Operations Management and Lean Manufacturing Processes for Industry Excellence and Success.
Course Description
This Lean Manufacturing course was created by a practitioner with 25 years of experience implementing Lean Manufacturing principles. It offers a comprehensive view of Lean Manufacturing, combining theory with practical examples and case studies from the real world. This enables participants to understand the key concepts and see how they are applied in practice.
Master the fundamentals of Lean Manufacturing, starting with its definition, history, and evolution. The course then delves into the eight types of waste, each thoroughly explained with its causes, effects, and elimination strategies. This knowledge is crucial for all manufacturing professionals, as it directly influences industry efficiency.
The following sections of the course cover Lean tools such as 5S, One Piece Flow, Kanban, and Value Stream Mapping. Participants will learn how these tools can optimize manufacturing processes, reduce waste, and improve efficiency. Special attention is also given to SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Die) and TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) methods, which are vital to increasing machine productivity and reliability within the manufacturing industry. Moreover, the course integrates principles of operations management to enhance overall manufacturing efficiency.
The course also delves into methods for identifying and eliminating waste and the principles of Kaizen, or continuous improvement, which are at the heart of lean manufacturing. Participants will learn how to instill a Lean culture in their organization, how to measure the effects of Lean implementation, and how to sustain and evolve a Lean culture in the long term. The integration of lean principles underscores the course’s comprehensive approach to operations management and manufacturing, emphasizing continuous improvement.
Through practical exercises and recourse case studies, participants will be equipped to apply their newly acquired knowledge directly in their organizations. This will empower them to make significant strides in improving their operational efficiency and competitiveness in the manufacturing market, particularly by adopting World Class Manufacturing (WCM) strategies.
