-- the Best Practices of Toyota Production System and how they can be applied to manufacturing, service, and healthcare organizations.
-- to identify waste activities and understanding why they should be eliminated.
-- how to use flow analysis to analyze a process and identify non-value-added activities.
-- to apply lean operational tools like: value stream mapping, 5S, visual workplace and visual control, takt time, setup time reduction, standard work, etc.
-- how to apply the lean principles and concepts during the development new products and services.
-- error/mistake prevention approaches to reduce and eliminate process errors.
-- the concepts of Total Quality Management and Six Sigma quality concepts Kaizen Blitzes, and continuous improvement.
