    What Lean Manufacturing Delivers on the Shop FloorA Practical Introduction

    Invensis Learning's Lean Manufacturing Training in Czechia gives production teams a practical, hands-on grounding in the Toyota Production System, the methodology behind the world's most efficient factories. Rooted in the five Lean principles and the work of Taiichi Ohno and Shigeo Shingo at Toyota, the programme shows you how to identify and remove the eight wastes (DOWNTIME) so that every step adds value for the customer. Over one intensive day you move from Lean foundations through value stream mapping, 5S and visual management, pull systems and kanban, Just-in-Time, Total Productive Maintenance and OEE, standard work, SMED quick changeover and Kaizen. Hands-on exercises let you apply each tool to realistic manufacturing scenarios. Designed for the engineers, supervisors and managers who keep Czech plants running, this training turns Lean theory into shop-floor results. Build the skills to cut lead times, raise quality and drive continuous improvement, and start applying them the moment you return to work.

    Identify and Remove the Eight Wastes

    Learn to spot Defects, Overproduction, Waiting, Non-utilised talent, Transportation, Inventory, Motion and Extra processing (DOWNTIME) on the shop floor, and run a structured waste walk that turns observation into measurable savings.

    Map the Value Stream

    Build current-state and future-state value stream maps, calculate takt time, locate bottlenecks and expose where material and information flow break down, so you can plan improvements that cut total lead time.

    Organise with 5S and Visual Management

    Apply Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain, and use andon, production boards and floor markings to make normal and abnormal conditions visible at a glance across the workplace.

    Design Pull Systems and Kanban

    Move from push to pull, size supermarkets, calculate kanban quantities and apply Just-in-Time thinking so each process makes only what the next one needs, cutting overproduction and inventory.

    Apply TPM and Measure OEE

    Use Total Productive Maintenance and autonomous maintenance to improve reliability, and calculate OEE (Availability x Performance x Quality) to target the six big losses that limit output.

    Lead Kaizen and Standard Work

    Document standard work, apply SMED for quick changeovers and level production with Heijunka, then run Kaizen improvements and A3 problem solving to sustain a culture of continuous improvement.
