Learning Objectives
Course participants will gain a grounded understanding of the fundamental methodologies and tools used in Lean organizations. Unlike other Lean Introduction courses, this course is designed to demonstrate the strong interconnection that Lean tools have with Lean principles. This combination of know-how (tools and techniques) and know-why (Lean principles) brings a more complete understanding of how to apply them in a real-world setting.

Throughout the course, the participant will learn to recognize the value of Lean in their organization. They will learn to see the benefits of implementing Lean tools and techniques beyond traditional production systems. This introduction course will expose the participant to a broad range of Lean concepts and principles.

Unique Learning Approach
This course contains many interactive simulations and exercises designed to allow the participant to gain a deeper understanding of the material and be able to apply the principles and concepts that they learned throughout the course. The course is self-paced and can be completed at the convenience of the participant.
