People often become accustomed to the waste around them. ​​They experience it daily, yet they become unable to observe, recognize, and, most importantly, eradicate it. ​​It happens at every level of the organization, from the worker to the CEO of a company. ​​We talk about waste in production processes, administrative support processes, product development, or waste in products, or in people within the company and their utilization, which is not always value-added. ​​This situation means that sometimes ​​a visit from a skilled consultant with Lean experience is all it takes to highlight waste and inefficiencies ​​that we had never noticed or been able to eliminate. ​​Indeed, it is not easy to identify what one does not know.

This short but ​​impactful course aims to raise awareness of how and where waste is generated within a company, ​​and to introduce the guiding principles of Lean Thinking that can be applied to eliminate it. ​​Laying the groundwork to create an organization that can continuously improve and adapt to changes in the environment and the market. ​​This course is intended for everyone in the company, as everyone can contribute to potential waste and help resolve it. ​​An organization that is aligned with the key principles for maximizing its processes and resources has the fundamental foundation for efficiency.
