In this module, you will be introduced to the core principles and methodologies of Lean thinking. You will gain insight into essential Lean tools and techniques such as the five Ss (5S), 5S plus safety, and 6S and single-minute exchange of die (SMED), enabling you to lead process improvement initiatives within your organizations successfully. You will learn to implement SMED, a Lean tool used in manufacturing, to decrease the equipment changeover time. Additionally, you will be introduced to 5S, another Lean tool that represents the steps needed to accomplish this objective, namely, sort, set, shine, standardize, and sustain.

This module introduces you to another powerful and effective Lean tool, poka-yoke, which was developed as a key component of the Toyota Production System (TPS). Poka-yoke is a process improvement technique, literally meaning “avoiding mistakes or errors.” It was developed in the 1960s by Shigeo Shingo. This technique significantly decreases the number of defects produced and is also known as error-proofing. In this module, you will learn about some real-life examples of poka-yoke and how to implement this technique by eliminating opportunities for defects or errors.
