    What Is Lean Fundamentals and Why It Matters in ArgentinaYour Starting Point for Operational Excellence

    Lean Fundamentals Training in Argentina is a practical, introductory programme that gives you a solid grounding in Lean management: the philosophy, principles and everyday tools used to maximise customer value while eliminating waste. Rooted in the Toyota Production System developed by Taiichi Ohno and Shigeo Shingo, and shaped by the five Lean principles that James Womack and Daniel Jones set out in Lean Thinking (1996), the course shows you how work really flows and where value leaks away. Over a focused one-day programme you learn the five Lean principles (Identify Value, Map the Value Stream, Create Flow, Establish Pull and Seek Perfection), the eight wastes summarised as DOWNTIME, and core tools including 5S, Value Stream Mapping, Kanban, standard work and Kaizen. Real examples from manufacturing, healthcare, financial services and IT connect each idea to your daily work. This is a practical skills programme, not a credential. Learning is reinforced through waste-identification exercises and group case discussions, and you finish with a course completion record from Invensis Learning. It suits every employee, team member, supervisor and manager in Argentina who wants to contribute to continuous improvement. Build the Lean mindset first, then apply it from day one.

    Your Argentina Career Transformation

    From Spotting Problems to Solving Them,

    And Where Lean Thinking Takes You

    Argentine industry is under real pressure to do more with less, and employers increasingly separate people who can drive improvement from those who only keep processes running. Here is which side of that line Lean thinking puts you on.

    Sources: SalaryExpert / ERI (Argentina) 2026; Invensis Learning course scope.

    Module 1: Introduction

    • Exploring the foundational principles and purpose of Lean as a methodology for eliminating waste and improving operational efficiency across manufacturing and service environments
    • Understanding the origins of Lean thinking and how Lean principles were developed and refined through the Toyota Production System and subsequent global applications
    • Examining the linkage between Lean and Six Sigma and how the two disciplines complement each other within broader operational excellence and continuous improvement programs
    • Reviewing the structure and objectives of the Lean Fundamentals course and establishing a framework for understanding how each module connects within the overall Lean methodology

    Module 2: Lean Mentality / Muda (Waste) Elimination

    • Understanding the concept of the hidden factory and the hidden office, and how non-value-adding activities consume resources without contributing to customer value in both manufacturing and administrative environments
    • Exploring the seven types of waste in Lean, including overproduction, waiting, transportation, over-processing, inventory, motion, and defects, and how each type manifests across different operational contexts
    • Developing the skills to identify waste within processes through systematic observation, process analysis, and the application of Lean waste identification tools
    • Learning the strategies and principles used to eliminate or reduce waste once identified, and the role of cultural and behavioral change in sustaining waste reduction over time

    Module 3: Mapping the Value Stream

    • Understanding the purpose and methodology of value stream mapping as a tool for visualizing the complete flow of materials and information required to deliver a product or service to the customer
    • Exploring different types of value stream maps, including current-state maps that document existing processes and future-state maps that define the improved process design
    • Learning how to create and interpret value stream maps to identify areas of waste, delay, and inefficiency within a process and to prioritize improvement actions
    • Understanding how value stream mapping provides the analytical foundation for planning and executing Lean improvement events and targeted process changes

    Module 4: Lean Events

    • Exploring the Kaizen event as a focused, team-based improvement activity designed to achieve significant process change within a short and defined timeframe
    • Understanding the structure and stages of a standard five-day Kaizen event, from preparation and scoping through to execution, solution testing, and results presentation
    • Learning how to plan and run shorter Lean events when the scope or available time requires a condensed improvement activity without sacrificing rigor or impact
    • Developing the facilitation and team management skills needed to lead Lean events effectively and ensure that improvement gains are sustained after the event concludes

    Module 5: Constraints

    • Understanding the concept of process constraints and how bottlenecks in process flow limit the throughput, efficiency, and capacity of the entire value stream
    • Learning systematic approaches for identifying constraints within a process, including observation-based methods, data analysis, and value stream review techniques
    • Exploring strategies for addressing bottlenecks, including process redesign, resource reallocation, workload balancing, and targeted improvement activities
    • Understanding the relationship between constraint management and broader Lean improvement efforts, and how resolving bottlenecks contributes to overall flow and value stream performance

    Module 6: Flow and Takt Time

    • Exploring the principle of flow in Lean and how continuous, uninterrupted movement of work through the value stream minimizes waiting, batching, and inventory accumulation
    • Understanding Takt time as the rate at which products or services must be produced to match customer demand, and how Takt time is calculated and applied in process design
    • Learning how to use Takt time as a planning tool to set the rhythm of production flow and ensure that process capacity is aligned to actual customer demand
    • Examining the relationship between flow, Takt time, and the broader Lean goal of delivering value to the customer efficiently, consistently, and without waste

    Module 7: Pull Systems and Kanban

    • Understanding the principles of pull-based production, in which work is initiated by actual customer demand rather than forecast-driven schedules or upstream production push
    • Exploring the Kanban system as a simple and visual method for signaling demand and controlling the flow of work, materials, and information through a process
    • Learning how to design and implement a basic Kanban system, including the selection of signal types, determination of replenishment quantities, and establishment of workflow rules
    • Understanding how pull systems and Kanban reduce overproduction, excess inventory, and lead time while improving process responsiveness to changing customer demand

    Module 8: 5S Implementation

    • Exploring the five elements of 5S, including Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain, and how each element contributes to a safe, organized, and efficient workplace
    • Learning the systematic approach to implementing 5S across a work area or department, from initial assessment and Sort activities through to the development of standardized procedures and audit routines
    • Understanding how 5S creates the physical and organizational foundation that Lean tools and improvement activities require to function effectively and sustainably
    • Developing the skills to sustain 5S gains over time through visual management, regular audits, team accountability, and the integration of 5S standards into daily work habits

    Module 9: Lean Management Principles

    • Understanding the key principles of Lean management and how they guide the implementation and ongoing operation of Lean systems within organizations
    • Exploring the leadership behaviors, management practices, and organizational structures that enable Lean to move from a set of tools to a sustained operational discipline
    • Learning how to develop and communicate a Lean implementation strategy that aligns improvement activities with organizational goals, resource availability, and process maturity
    • Understanding the role of performance measurement, visual management, and continuous review in sustaining Lean improvements and building a long-term culture of operational excellence

    The Lean Skills You Will BuildTools You Can Use Immediately

    What you will learn in Lean Fundamentals is a practical toolkit for seeing and removing waste. By the end of the one-day programme you can identify the eight wastes, run a basic 5S or waste walk, and apply the PDCA cycle to a real improvement in your own work.

    Apply the Five Lean Principles

    Define value from the customer's view, map the value stream, create flow, establish pull and pursue perfection, so you can improve any process with a clear, structured approach.

    Spot and Classify the Eight Wastes

    Use the DOWNTIME framework to identify defects, overproduction, waiting, non-utilised talent, transportation, inventory, motion and extra processing in your own work area.

    Organise Any Workspace with 5S

    Apply Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain to create a clean, visual, efficient workplace that reveals problems and supports safe, consistent working.

    Read and Interpret a Value Stream Map

    Understand how a current-state value stream map exposes lead time, value-added time and waste, giving you a shared picture of where improvement effort should focus.

    Build Pull with Kanban and Standard Work

    See how pull systems and Kanban signals replace push and overproduction, and how standard work sets a reliable baseline of takt, sequence and work-in-progress.

    Drive Improvement with Kaizen and PDCA

    Use the Kaizen mindset, the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle and the Gemba walk to run small, repeatable improvements and sustain a culture of continuous improvement.

    What topics does the Lean Fundamentals syllabus cover?

    The syllabus spans six modules: the origins and philosophy of Lean and the Toyota Production System, the five Lean principles and customer value, the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), foundational Lean tools, Kaizen and the PDCA cycle, and applying Lean across industries.

    Which Lean tools will I learn?

    You are introduced to 5S, Value Stream Mapping, pull systems and Kanban, standard work, visual management, the Gemba walk and the PDCA cycle, with practical examples that show how each tool removes waste and improves flow.

    Is the training relevant beyond manufacturing?

    Yes. Wherever processes exist, Lean applies. The course uses examples from manufacturing, healthcare, financial services and IT, so professionals in operations, quality, finance, administration and customer service all gain relevant, usable skills.
