    What Is Lean Manufacturing?A Practical Route to World-Class Production

    Lean Manufacturing Training in Hungary is a practical, one-day skills programme that teaches you to identify and eliminate waste from production, so every step adds real value for the customer. Rooted in the Toyota Production System (TPS) developed by Taiichi Ohno and Shigeo Shingo at Toyota, it covers the five Lean principles, the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), value stream mapping, 5S, pull systems and kanban, just-in-time production, total productive maintenance and continuous improvement (Kaizen). This is a non-certification course, so there is no exam to sit. Learning is reinforced through hands-on waste-identification, VSM and OEE exercises, and you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. It suits professionals across Hungary's automotive, EV battery, electronics and process industries who want to apply Lean tools on the shop floor. With record investment flowing into plants in Gyor, Kecskemet, Debrecen and Szeged, employers value people who can cut lead time, reduce inventory and raise output. Build those skills and start applying Lean with Invensis Learning.

    The Lean Skills You Will BuildTools for Waste, Flow and Quality

    This Lean Manufacturing programme builds the core skills to eliminate waste and improve flow: the five principles, the eight wastes, VSM, 5S, kanban, TPM, OEE, standard work, SMED and Kaizen. By the end you can apply these tools on your own production lines.

    Spot and Eliminate the Eight Wastes

    This Lean Manufacturing programme builds the core skills to eliminate waste and improve flow. Use the DOWNTIME framework to find defects, overproduction, waiting, unused talent, transport, inventory, motion and extra processing on any line, then remove them.

    Map and Improve Value Streams

    Draw current and future-state value stream maps, calculate takt time, and locate the bottlenecks and waste that stretch your production lead time so you can design a leaner flow.

    Organise the Workplace with 5S

    Apply Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain, together with visual management, to build a safe, tidy and productive shop floor where abnormalities are immediately visible.

    Design Pull Systems and Kanban

    Move from push to pull, size supermarkets, and calculate kanban quantities so each step makes only what the next one needs, cutting overproduction and inventory.

    Boost Equipment Reliability with TPM and OEE

    Apply total productive maintenance and calculate OEE (Availability x Performance x Quality) to attack the six big losses and lift equipment uptime and performance.

    Lead Kaizen and Standard Work

    Write standard work, run SMED quick changeovers and facilitate Kaizen so continuous improvement becomes part of everyday production, not a one-off project.
