What Lean Manufacturing Training in the Netherlands CoversFrom TPS Roots to the Shop Floor

Lean Manufacturing Training gives you a complete, practical toolkit for identifying and eliminating waste so that every step in your production process adds value for the customer. Rooted in the Toyota Production System (TPS) developed by Taiichi Ohno at Toyota, the programme teaches the five Lean principles, the eight wastes captured by the DOWNTIME model, and the tools that turn them into shop-floor results.

Over a single intensive day, you work through value stream mapping, 5S and visual management, pull systems and kanban, Just-in-Time, Total Productive Maintenance, OEE, standard work, SMED quick changeover and Kaizen. Hands-on waste-identification and OEE exercises let you apply each tool to realistic manufacturing scenarios rather than just reading about them.

The training suits production and manufacturing managers, industrial engineers, supervisors, quality and maintenance professionals across the Netherlands high-tech, food, chemical and automotive plants. There is no exam; you build capability you can use immediately and receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. Sessions run live online, in the classroom or on site for your team.

Why Lean Skills Pay off on the Shop FloorValue You Apply from Day One

For Individuals

Lean Manufacturing Training helps you move from firefighting to systematic improvement. You learn to see waste the way Toyota does, then apply proven tools to remove it, so flow improves, lead times fall and quality rises. Whether you are a production supervisor, manufacturing engineer or continuous improvement lead, the programme gives you techniques you can put to work the same week in any production or operations environment.

If you want to be the person who fixes the process, not just runs it, Lean skills are the foundation. You leave able to run a waste walk, map a value stream, implement 5S, design a pull system and calculate OEE with confidence.

Spot and remove the eight wastes in your own production area within days
Apply value stream mapping to expose bottlenecks, excess inventory and long lead times
Lead 5S and visual management improvements that make problems visible at a glance
Design kanban pull systems and calculate OEE to target your biggest equipment losses
