Lean Principles:

An Introduction to Lean


The Lean Principles workshop is a single day introductory workshop for individuals with no prior exposure to Lean.  Participants will learn the basic principles of Lean, which have their origins with the Toyota Production System:

  • Product Value
  • Value Stream Mapping
  • Material Flow
  • Pull from the Customer
  • Continuous Improvement

This employee training is ideal for all members of an organization.  Managers will learn what Lean can do for the organization and how their role must evolve to enable success.  Employees will be shown that their input throughout the Lean journey is invaluable, and this workshop will ensure that their suggestions coincide with the company’s objectives. 

Participants will learn to improve their organization as a whole by focusing on the entire value stream, instead of points within that stream. They will also learn which activities add value and which are waste, and how reducing this waste can improve productivity and increase inventory turns. 

 

Like most Lean Solutions workshops, Lean Principles combines classroom theory with practical exercises and case study simulations to reinforce the training.  Workshop participants are tasked with identifying examples of waste within the organization, and identifying its root cause.  Participants also engage in a simulation that demonstrates the advantages of Single Piece Flow compared to batch production.

Recognizing the importance of employee training in a successful Lean implementation, many organizations use Lean Principles to launch their Lean strategy. This employee training is a great way for management to demonstrate their commitment to improvement.
