Key Training Topics
What participants learn in our Lean Training Programs
A modern Lean curriculum combining core Lean tools, practical simulations, Saudi market case studies, leadership routines, and improvement project thinking.
Lean Principles & Waste Elimination
Understand value from the customer perspective and learn how to identify the 8 wastes: defects, overproduction, waiting, non-utilized talent, transportation, inventory, motion, and extra processing.
Gemba Walks & Process Observation
Learn how to go to the real place, observe actual work, ask better questions, collect facts, and reveal hidden inefficiencies that reports alone cannot show.
5S & Visual Management
Apply Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain to create safer, cleaner, faster, and more disciplined workplaces supported by visual controls.
Value Stream Mapping
Map current-state and future-state processes, identify bottlenecks and waiting points, and create action plans to reduce lead time and improve end-to-end flow.
Kaizen & Rapid Improvement
Build a continuous improvement rhythm using Kaizen events, quick wins, employee ideas, structured experiments, and practical improvement charters.
Root Cause Problem Solving
Practice 5 Whys, Fishbone diagrams, Pareto analysis, A3 thinking, and corrective actions that solve problems at the source instead of treating symptoms.
Standard Work & Poka-Yoke
Create consistent best-practice methods, reduce variation, prevent errors, and make quality built into the process rather than inspected at the end.
Flow, Pull & Kanban
Understand how to improve flow, reduce work-in-progress, control inventory, and use pull systems to create smoother operations and faster delivery.
Lean Leadership & Daily Management
Equip managers and team leaders with routines for daily huddles, visual boards, KPI reviews, escalation, coaching, recognition, and sustainable Lean culture.
