Lean is a management philosophy and approach that focuses on customer value creation through the identification and elimination of process wastes in products and services. At its core is the principle that excessive expenditure on resources for any goal other than the creation of value for the end customer is wasteful and therefore should be reduced if not eliminated.

Our Lean Leader course shall cover the intermediate Lean concepts, tools, and techniques for identifying, reducing, or eliminating causes of process irregularities, overburden to employees, and process wastes. By the end of the course, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the different Lean concepts and tools as applied in a project, and implement these in a process to improve operational performance; or utilize these and lead cross-functional Lean projects and programs with the goal of improving overall business performance.
