Margin and Energy-Cost Pressure

High input and energy costs squeeze Greek manufacturers, making the systematic removal of waste, inventory and defects a direct route to protecting margin and competitiveness.

Lean builds waste-elimination and cost-reduction skills

Modernisation on EU Recovery Funds

Record EU recovery funding is upgrading Greek plants, but new lines only deliver returns when teams can design flow, cut changeover time and prevent overproduction.

Lean turns new investment into real productivity

Scarce Lean Practitioners

Greece has a deep production workforce but relatively few trained Lean practitioners, so professionals who can run value stream mapping, 5S and Kaizen are in short supply.

Lean skills make your team stand out

Export Competition in Metals and Food

Greek metals and food exporters compete on global efficiency benchmarks, where lead-time reduction, standard work and JIT flow separate the leaders from the rest.

Lean drives world-class efficiency

Ageing Equipment and Downtime

Unplanned downtime and low equipment effectiveness erode capacity. Total Productive Maintenance and OEE give teams the tools to lift reliability and recover lost output.

Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

Lean Manufacturing Training is a practical, one-day course that teaches teams to identify and eliminate waste using the Toyota Production System toolkit. It is worth it because the skills apply immediately: waste elimination, better flow and higher productivity are exactly what Greek manufacturers are hiring for as the sector grows.

General

What is Lean Manufacturing Training and is it worth it?

Who should attend this Lean course in Greece?

The course suits production and manufacturing managers, engineers, operations supervisors, team leaders, quality professionals, Lean coordinators and maintenance managers. It is ideal for anyone working in or responsible for a production operation across Greece's food, metals, cement, refining or pharmaceutical sectors.

What is the Toyota Production System and how does Lean relate to it?

Lean Manufacturing is rooted in the Toyota Production System (TPS), developed by Taiichi Ohno and Shigeo Shingo at Toyota. TPS is built on two pillars, Just-in-Time and Jidoka, and the course teaches the five Lean principles and tools that grew from it, from the eight wastes to Kaizen.

Do I need prior Lean experience to attend?

No. There are no prerequisites. The course introduces Lean manufacturing from first principles, so it works whether you are new to Lean or want to formalise experience you already have. Prior production or operations exposure is helpful but not required.

Is Lean Manufacturing in demand in Greece right now?

Yes. Greek manufacturing began 2026 with its strongest growth in five months, backed by record EU recovery funding. Food and beverage alone employs over 160,000 people, and employers increasingly value professionals who can remove waste and improve flow.

Pricing

How much does Lean Manufacturing Training cost in Greece?

Pricing varies by delivery format, group size and whether the training is individual or corporate, so course fees are available on request. Share your team size and preferred format and we will provide a tailored quote. Request a quote to see current options.

What is included in the course fee?

The fee typically includes instructor-led training across all six Lean modules, structured courseware and learning resources, hands-on tool exercises, and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Talk to a learning advisor to confirm what is included in your chosen format.

Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

Yes. We offer corporate and group pricing for teams, with schedules built around your operation. Group training is often the most cost-effective option because whole teams learn a shared Lean method together. Ask about corporate pricing for your plant.

What payment options are available?

We accept major cards and bank transfers, and can arrange invoicing for corporate bookings. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you or your organisation.

Is team training better value than individual seats?

For most manufacturers, yes. Training a cross-functional team together builds a common Lean language and lets the group apply exercises to your own shop floor, which typically delivers more value per learner than booking individual seats. Request a group quote to compare.

Assessment

How is learning assessed during the course?

There is no formal test. Learning is reinforced through hands-on tool exercises, waste identification activities, manufacturing case examples and group discussion throughout the day, so you leave able to apply the tools rather than just recall theory.

What do I receive on completing the course?

On completing the one-day programme you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning, confirming you have covered the full Lean manufacturing toolkit. More importantly, you leave with skills you can apply on your line straight away.

Will I be able to apply Lean tools at work afterwards?

Yes. That is the whole point of the course. By the end you can conduct waste walks, facilitate value stream mapping, implement 5S, design kanban systems, calculate OEE and lead Kaizen improvements in your own production environment.

Is the content aligned to recognised Lean practice?

Yes. The curriculum is grounded in the Toyota Production System and established Lean practice: the five Lean principles, the eight wastes, value stream mapping, 5S, kanban, JIT, TPM, OEE, standard work, SMED, Heijunka and Kaizen.

Does this course complement other Lean training?

Yes. It is a strong foundation for further study such as Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen, Poka Yoke and Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt or Green Belt training, all available through Invensis Learning. Ask an advisor about the right next step for your goals.

Course Content

What topics does the Lean Manufacturing course cover?

Over one eight-hour day the course covers Lean foundations and TPS, the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), value stream mapping, 5S and visual management, pull systems and kanban, Just-in-Time, TPM and OEE, standard work, SMED, Heijunka, Poka Yoke and building a Lean culture.

What Lean tools will I learn to use?

You will learn to run a waste walk, build a value stream map, calculate takt time and OEE, apply 5S, design a kanban pull system, write standard work, apply SMED for quick changeover, and lead Kaizen improvement using A3 problem solving.

Are there hands-on exercises?

Yes. Practical exercises run throughout the day, including Gemba-based waste identification, value stream data collection, a 5S workplace assessment, OEE calculation and kanban sizing, so you practise applying each tool to realistic manufacturing scenarios.

How long is the training and can beginners keep up?

The programme is one day (eight hours), also available as two half-days. It is designed for beginners as well as experienced staff: concepts are introduced from first principles and reinforced with exercises, so no prior Lean knowledge is needed to keep up.

What learning materials are provided?

You receive structured courseware covering all six modules, along with exercises, worked examples and reference materials for the core Lean tools. These support you during the session and act as a practical reference when you apply Lean back at work.
