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. The key objective of 5S is to create an uncluttered environment that enables people to carry out their job responsibilities without wasting time and reducing the risk of injury.

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.

In this module, you will learn about the concept of the eight wastes or 8 forms of waste, which is a fundamental Lean manufacturing and Six Sigma principle. The various non-value-added activities and inefficiencies within a process are known as the eight types of waste.

Waste reduction is a fundamental concept in Lean Six Sigma, and this module will equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to improve efficiency, productivity, and quality within your process and organization.

Control charts are beneficial for your organization as you need to take some action to correct the variations that could have a negative impact on your business. You will learn about specific control charts for continuous data and how to create and interpret these charts, analyze patterns, and make data-driven decisions to improve process stability and performance. The module combines theoretical knowledge with practical exercises and case studies to equip you with the skills to implement control charts in various industries.
