    What Is Lean Manufacturing Training and What You GainA Practical Route to Waste-Free Production

    Lean Manufacturing Training in Brazil is a practical, non-certification programme that teaches you to identify and eliminate waste from production so that every step adds value for the customer. Delivered by Invensis Learning, it turns the Lean philosophy into tools you can use on the floor from the first shift back. The course is rooted in the Toyota Production System (TPS) developed by Taiichi Ohno and Shigeo Shingo at Toyota, and the five Lean principles popularised by James Womack and Daniel Jones in Lean Thinking: identify value, map the value stream, create flow, establish pull and seek perfection. You learn to recognise the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), apply 5S and visual management, build kanban pull systems, run Just-in-Time production, lift equipment effectiveness with TPM and OEE, and sustain gains through Kaizen. The approach aligns naturally with continual improvement under ISO 9001:2015 and the Lean production expectations of IATF 16949 automotive supply chains. With automotive, aerospace, food and appliance plants concentrated across São Paulo and the wider industrial belt, Brazil rewards professionals who can convert investment into measurable output. This one-day programme suits production and manufacturing managers, engineers, supervisors, quality and maintenance professionals, and continuous improvement coordinators who want to lead real change. Start your Lean journey with Invensis Learning.

    Lean Tools You Will Apply on the Shop FloorEvery Core Lean Tool, Applied

    The skills covered in this Lean Manufacturing training run from the eight wastes and value stream mapping through 5S, pull systems, TPM and SMED to building a Kaizen culture. By the end of the one-day programme you can walk a line, name the waste, and lead a structured improvement, using real hands-on exercises throughout.

    Spot and Eliminate the Eight Wastes

    Walk the Gemba and classify waste using the eight DOWNTIME categories: defects, overproduction, waiting, non-utilised talent, transportation, inventory, motion and extra processing. You will learn to quantify waste and prioritise what to remove first.

    Map and Improve the Value Stream

    Build current-state value stream maps with standard symbols, cycle and changeover times and inventory levels, calculate takt time, find the bottleneck, and design a leaner future-state flow that links directly to Kaizen planning.

    Organise the Workplace with 5S

    Apply Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain, plus visual management tools like Andon, production boards and floor markings, to create a clean, safe and stable workplace where abnormalities are immediately visible.

    Design Pull Systems with Kanban and JIT

    Move from push to pull production, size kanban loops and supermarkets, and apply Just-in-Time principles so each process makes only what the next step has consumed, cutting overproduction and inventory.

    Lift Equipment Effectiveness with TPM and OEE

    Use Total Productive Maintenance and calculate Overall Equipment Effectiveness (Availability x Performance x Quality), identify the six big losses, and target the improvements that raise uptime and output.

    Standardise Work and Cut Changeover with SMED

    Document standard work around takt time, work sequence and standard WIP, and apply SMED quick-changeover to separate internal from external setup, shrink batch sizes and improve flexibility.

    Is there an exam for the Lean Manufacturing course?

    No. This is a non-certification course with no examination. Learning is reinforced through hands-on tool exercises, waste identification activities, manufacturing case examples and team discussion during the programme.

    Do I receive a certificate after the training?

    Yes. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning after completing the programme. It records your attendance and the Lean skills covered; it is not a formal certification, as none exists for this training.

    How is my learning assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment or pass mark. Instead you apply the tools through practical exercises, such as a waste walk, value stream data collection, a 5S review, an OEE calculation and a kanban sizing task, so you practise each tool on realistic scenarios.

    Will the training prepare me to apply Lean at work?

    Yes. The whole programme is built for workplace application. You leave able to lead waste walks, map value streams, run 5S, design kanban pull systems, calculate OEE and facilitate Kaizen improvements in your own production environment.

    Is this a certification like Lean Six Sigma?

    No. Lean Manufacturing training is a focused, practical skills course with no exam or credential. Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, by contrast, combines Lean with the Six Sigma DMAIC methodology in a longer programme that usually leads to a certification. This course builds the core Lean manufacturing toolkit.

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the Lean Manufacturing syllabus?

    The course covers the Toyota Production System and five Lean principles, the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), value stream mapping, 5S and visual management, pull systems and kanban, JIT, TPM and OEE, standard work, SMED, Heijunka, Poka Yoke and building a Kaizen culture.

    Are there hands-on exercises in the course?

    Yes. Exercises run throughout the day, including a Gemba-based waste walk, value stream data collection, a 5S workplace assessment, an OEE calculation, kanban quantity sizing and standard work observation, so you practise every core tool.

    Can beginners follow the material?

    Yes. The course starts from first principles and builds up, so no prior Lean knowledge is needed. Experienced professionals still gain value from the structured toolkit and the hands-on application on realistic production scenarios.

    Does the course apply to non-automotive industries?

    Yes. While Lean began in automotive, the principles and tools apply to aerospace, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, appliances, electronics, steel and any production or operations environment. The exercises can be tailored to your sector in corporate training.

    What materials do I receive with the training?

    You receive structured courseware covering all six Lean modules, tool templates and reference guides for waste identification, VSM, 5S, OEE and kanban, plus the exercises used in the sessions to support application back at work.
