Accelerated Route to Lean Manufacturing – MAR 2025

About this course
This highly respected programme delivers much more than a masterclass in Lean thinking and problem solving, our ARTL can take you from zero knowledge to a pro-active Lean Champion and change agent. People focussed, the programme will help you influence a coaching culture to maximise your value stream.
This training will help you to look differently at problems by showing you how to achieve greater efficiency by reducing waste and increasing value with less stress. You will be able to refine process and improve systemisation to maximise time and efficiency, and therefore increase profit. Moreover, Lean insights are delivered by experienced Lean Practitioners who can translate how it works in practice.
Who is this course for?
Perfect for managers, team leaders and change agents and anyone impacting business improvement. Whatever the size of your organisation, this is a solid, serious programme designed especially for people responsible for improving productivity and performance but who may have had little exposure to formal continuous improvement training, this programme is not just for those involved in manufacturing and operations, but anyone in other business or service functions.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of all the sessions you will understand the core principles of Lean manufacturing and how to achieve operational excellence with confidence. You will know how to create tangible and sustainable benefits in your workplace and understand the link between culture change and continuous improvement.
ARTL Fellowship Certification
Directly following the programme, delegates have the opportunity to extend their classroom-based learning with a Manufacturing Institute Fellowship. This is a recognition scheme based around successful implementation of a work-based improvement project, which enables delegates to ‘learn by doing’ by using the tools and techniques delivered during the training days.
