    What Lean Fundamentals Training Teaches YouA Practical Start in Lean Thinking

    Lean Fundamentals Training in Lithuania is a one-day introductory course that gives professionals a practical grounding in Lean management, the systematic approach to maximising customer value while minimising waste that grew out of the Toyota Production System (TPS). You learn to see work the way a Lean thinker does, then to act on what you see. The course is built on the five Lean principles codified by Womack and Jones in Lean Thinking (1996): identify value, map the value stream, create flow, establish pull and seek perfection. You explore the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), the two pillars of TPS (Just-in-Time and Jidoka), and hands-on tools such as 5S, value stream mapping, Kanban, standard work and Kaizen. It suits everyone from front-line team members to supervisors and managers across manufacturing, life sciences, global business services and logistics, the sectors driving Lithuania's economy. There is no formal assessment or credential; you learn through waste-identification exercises and case discussions, and receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Start building a Lean mindset your whole team can share.

    • 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

The training gives you a practical, cross-industry capability you can apply immediately and build on as you move toward supervisory, quality or improvement roles.

    General

    Is Lean Fundamentals training worth it for my career in Lithuania?

    Yes. Lean skills are valued across Lithuania's manufacturing, life sciences, logistics and global business services employers, all of which run on efficient, waste-free processes. The training gives you a practical, cross-industry capability you can apply immediately and build on as you move toward supervisory, quality or improvement roles.

    What is Lean Fundamentals training?

    It is a one-day introductory course in Lean management, the approach to maximising customer value while minimising waste that grew from the Toyota Production System. You learn the five Lean principles from Womack and Jones's Lean Thinking (1996), the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), and core tools such as 5S, Kanban, standard work and Kaizen.

    Who should attend this Lean course?

    It suits everyone: front-line team members, supervisors, managers and professionals across all industries and functions. It is ideal as the shared entry point for teams starting a Lean journey, and as a foundation before further Lean, value stream mapping or Six Sigma learning.

    Do I need prior Lean experience to join?

    No. There are no prerequisites. The course introduces every Lean principle and tool from first principles, so it works whether you are completely new to Lean or want to formalise knowledge you have picked up on the job.

    Which industries does Lean apply to?

    All of them. Lean started in manufacturing but works wherever processes exist, including healthcare, financial services, logistics, IT and government. The course uses examples from manufacturing, life sciences, services and administration relevant to Lithuania's economy.

    Pricing

    How much does Lean Fundamentals training cost in Lithuania?

    Fees depend on the delivery format (live online, classroom or corporate onsite) and group size, so pricing is available on request. Contact us and we will share current options and a quote suited to individual or team enrolment. Request a quote to see the best fit for you.

    What is included in the training fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led sessions across all six modules, structured courseware and learning resources, hands-on waste-identification and 5S exercises, and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Ask a learning advisor for the exact inclusions of your chosen format.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing?

    Yes. We offer tailored corporate and group rates for teams, departments or whole sites, which is a common way to launch a Lean programme. Contact us for a group quote based on your team size and preferred delivery format.

    Are payment or instalment options available?

    Yes. We accept major cards and bank transfers, and instalment options are available on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Is this training good value for organisations?

    Yes. Training a whole team together gives everyone a shared Lean language for a modest, scalable investment, which makes later improvement activity far more effective. Ask about corporate pricing to train several teams at once.

    Assessment

    Is there an assessment at the end of the course?

    No formal test is required. Learning is reinforced through waste-identification exercises, case discussions and team activities during the day, so you apply concepts to realistic scenarios as you go rather than sitting a written test.

    Will I receive a certificate after completing the training?

    Yes. You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. This is a non-certification course, so it confirms your attendance and learning rather than awarding a formal external credential, and the knowledge you gain does not expire.

    Is there an external credential or governing body for this course?

    No. Lean Fundamentals is a vendor-neutral skills course with no external awarding body. It is grounded in Lean management and the Toyota Production System, giving you recognised principles and tools you can apply in any organisation.

    What will I be able to do after the training?

    You will be able to explain the five Lean principles, identify and classify the eight wastes, run a basic waste walk, apply 5S, describe how pull and Kanban work, and use the PDCA cycle for small improvements, all using a shared Lean vocabulary.

    What is the next step after Lean Fundamentals?

    This course is an ideal foundation for deeper learning such as Lean Manufacturing, Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen or Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt training. Ask a learning advisor which next step best fits your role and goals.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Lean Fundamentals syllabus cover?

    The course covers Lean origins and the Toyota Production System, the five Lean principles, the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), foundational tools (5S, value stream mapping, Kanban, standard work and visual management), Kaizen and PDCA, and how Lean applies across industries, all in one day.

    How long is the training and how is it structured?

    It is delivered as a one-day, eight-hour programme across six modules, and can also run as two half-days. Concept explanations, real-world case examples and hands-on exercises run throughout, so the day stays practical and interactive.

    Are there hands-on exercises during the course?

    Yes. You take part in a waste-identification exercise classifying activities into the eight DOWNTIME categories, a simple value stream mapping data exercise, and a 5S workplace assessment activity, so you practise the tools on realistic scenarios.

    Can beginners follow the material?

    Absolutely. The course is designed for people with no prior Lean knowledge and builds every concept from first principles, with plenty of examples and discussion to connect ideas to your own work context.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive structured courseware and reference materials covering the Lean principles, the eight wastes and each core tool, along with the exercise materials used during the day and a course completion record on finishing.
