Participants will gain insights into key Lean tools and principles necessary for fostering a mindset shift across organizational structures. By the end of this foundational course, participants will have the terminology, tools, and techniques to analyze and improve operational processes within manufacturing or business contexts. To ensure engagement and stimulate thought, we utilize a multifaceted approach, including videos, graded and ungraded assignments, discussions, expert insights, and stringent focus on application in a real-world setting.
