Lean Manufacturing & Production Optimization

Introduction

The Lean Manufacturing & Production Optimization Programme is designed to equip manufacturing leaders, plant managers, and operational teams with the competencies to streamline processes, eliminate waste, and maximize productivity. In a competitive industrial landscape, organisations must adopt lean-driven operational excellence to remain efficient, flexible, and profitable. This programme provides practical tools, proven methodologies, and hands-on applications that enable participants to reorganize workflows, optimize production systems, and create a culture of continuous improvement across the value chain.

Objectives

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

• Understand and apply the core principles of Lean Manufacturing and operational excellence.

• Identify process inefficiencies and wastes using Lean diagnostic tools.

• Redesign workflows to enhance production flow, quality, and cycle time.

• Apply techniques such as Kaizen, 5S, Value Stream Mapping, and Just-In-Time (JIT).

• Strengthen problem-solving and root cause analysis capabilities.

• Improve resource utilization, output consistency, and cost-effectiveness.

• Lead continuous improvement initiatives with measurable operational impact.
