Lean White Belt
The programme follows a clear learning pathway. Learners first understand what Lean is and why it matters, then learn how to recognise value and waste, then apply a practical workplace organisation method (5S), and finally learn how to sustain improvement through PDCA and people focused success factors.
Programme Duration & Structure:
The programme will be conducted in a half day training workshop online.
Course Outline:
This course is split into four main sections:
- Introduction to Lean Thinking: definition of Lean, benefits, examples of Lean in action and the 5 Lean principles.
- Customer Value and the 8 Types of Waste: defining value from the customer perspective, distinguishing value add, non value add and necessary non value add work, and recognising the 8 wastes (TIM WOODS), supported by direct observation (waste walk) concepts.
- 5S Methodology: purpose and benefits of 5S, the five steps, and how 5S supports visual management, safety, quality and efficient work.
- People and Continuous Improvement: critical success factors for Lean and introduction to PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) as a practical method to implement and sustain improvements.
The programme supports varying competency levels by providing clear foundational concepts for new learners, while offering more experienced learners practical opportunities to identify waste, apply the concepts to their own processes, and contribute improvement ideas based on real workplace examples and direct observation.
