Lean Management originated in the manufacturing environment. It has been widely used worldwide to reduce waste in production and provide value to customers.

Lean management is equally applicable to non-manufacturing environments. Some of the non-manufacturing sectors where the lean has been successfully implemented include:

• Service industry

• Software industry

• Healthcare industry

• Finance industry

• Product engineering

• Travel and Entertainment

• and many other industries

This course will help you to:

• Understand what Lean is and what it is not;

• What are the benefits of implementing Lean;

• The difference in the process improvement approaches using Lean and Six Sigma;

• Gain a deeper understanding of the five basic lean principles;

• Apply lean principles to non-manufacturing processes;

• Understand quality from the customer's perspective and avoid non-value-added steps from the work processes

• Understand the difference between Muda, Mura and Muri;

• Develop strategies to avoid the eight wastes of lean (TIM WOODS - Transportation, Inventory, Motion, Waiting, Overprocessing, Overproduction, Defects, Underutilized skills)

• Draw a Flow Chart or a Value Stream Map to understand the process

• Improve your management and leadership skills;
