How to effectively apply Lean methods and implement concrete improvements directly in your day-to-day (production) work

Grey digital Badge for UMS Lean Practitioner

Lean Practitioner

In the Lean Practitioner Training, you acquire a solid foundational understanding of Lean and learn to apply Lean methods practically and effectively in your work environment. The training follows a consistent training-on-the-job approach and combines theory, practical exercises, and a real improvement workshop.
A3 Thinking serves as the guiding thread – from problem analysis through target state definition to sustainable implementation of effective measures.

This training will enable you to

  • Confidently apply Lean principles and methods in your daily work
  • Analyze problems systematically and make root causes visible
  • Independently develop and implement improvement measures
  • Achieve sustainable process and efficiency improvements

Modules

In this training, you develop a shared Lean understanding and systematically build your problem-solving and implementation skills.

  • You understand the Lean philosophy, principles, and the customer value of value creation
  • You are able to work with A3 Thinking and PDCA as structured thinking and process logic
  • You learn key Lean methods and are able to apply them hands-on

  • Lean Toolbox: Types of waste, 5S, Visual Management, Standard Work, SMED, OEE basics, 5-Why, process visualization/analysis
  • Stability, standardization, and performance mindset

Following the training, you transfer what you’ve learned directly to a real problem in your own facility. Our trainers support you through coaching during this transfer.

For more in-depth support during the improvement workshop, you can request a 5-day improvement workshop.
