About This Course

Manufacturing Excellence (Lean Methodologies) MFG100LEAN OVERVIEW Manufacturing excellence (Lean manufacturing) is a systematic method for eliminating waste within a manufacturing system. Working from the perspective of the client who consumes a product or service, the "value" is any action or process that a customer would be willing to pay for. Essentially, lean is centred on making obvious what adds value by reducing everything else. Lean manufacturing is a management philosophy derived primarily from the Toyota Production System (TPS). OBJECTIVE This training will introduce the Lean tools and methods for top and middle managers, technicians, and company staff and will be the basis for your company production system assessment. Further to the evaluation, you will be able to define the company’s priorities for tool implementation.
