Programme Details
The programme content takes participants further on their Lean Journey than our Lean Practitioner course, though it is not essential for people to have undergone that training first.
Following the course, participants should be able to show how they influence change within their respective organisations and provide a level of support to assist project teams and managers within their respective organisations. They should also be able to plan, execute and follow up on Kai Sigma Rapid Improvement Events to ensure a successful outcome.

It covers the principles, concepts and origins of Lean Thinking and how they have evolved, including an awareness of the Toyota Way philosophy and its principles.
In particular, the focus is on:
- The importance of Customers, Suppliers and Stakeholders
- How the work gets done and how well
- Optimising process flow
- Understanding the importance of team working
- Participating in and leading improvement activity
- Project scoping and strategic awareness
- Enabling participants to use and facilitate a comprehensive range tools and techniques
Importantly, the emphasis is on applying these techniques in both a service and manufacturing environment.
