Course
Lean Manufacturing Principle 5: Continuously Improve
This course provides an overview of Lean methodology with a specific focus on Kaizen, a key continuous improvement approach in manufacturing. Participants will learn what Kaizen is, its significance in driving efficiency and reducing waste, and why it matters for achieving long-term operational success. The course will guide participants through the steps involved in implementing Kaizen, along with the tools commonly used to support its application. By the end of the course, participants be equipped to apply Kaizen principles to streamline processes and enhance productivity in a manufacturing environment.

Course
Lean Principle 5: Continuously Improve
In this course, we will explore the fifth Lean principle, Continuous Improvement, or Kaizen, and its importance in creating a culture of ongoing enhancement and reducing waste. Learners will also be introduced to practical steps and tools for implementing Kaizen, including root cause analysis, the PDCA cycle, and visual management.

Course
Lean Manufacturing Principle 2: Map the Value Stream
Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is an important tool used in Lean Manufacturing to expose waste and bottlenecks on the shop floor. In this brief refresher, we’ll walk participants through its core steps —gathering information, mapping the current state, designing the future state, and implementing change—while applying the TIMWOODS framework to spot common manufacturing wastes.

A and P Lean Site Audit
A and P Lean Site Audit is a practical checklist for assessing construction sites using Lean principles and the seven wastes: Transportation, Inventory, Motion, Waiting, Overproduction, Overprocessing, and Defects. Inspectors can document good examples, note areas for improvement, rate how effectively waste is eliminated, and add photos. The form captures site details, personnel, and location, and helps share best practices while surfacing challenges for field teams to solve. Use it to drive safer, more efficient operations through continuous improvement.
