This course aims to introduce lean management principles, waste concepts and lean practices. The course provides an introduction to lean describing the development of lean management and describes lean tools and techniques for implementation. Successful implementation examples are also demonstrated with real cases. Planning for lean process implementation in detail with A3 method is also discussed.
