What Is Lean Fundamentals Training?A Practical Grounding in Lean Thinking

Lean Fundamentals training in Senegal is an introductory, one-day programme that gives professionals a practical grounding in Lean management, the systematic approach to maximising customer value while removing waste from everyday work. Rooted in the Toyota Production System developed by Taiichi Ohno and Shigeo Shingo, it introduces the five Lean principles: identify value, map the value stream, create flow, establish pull and seek perfection.

Across eight hours of instructor-led learning you explore the eight wastes (DOWNTIME), core tools such as 5S, value stream mapping, Kanban and standard work, and the Kaizen and PDCA improvement cycle. Case studies from manufacturing, agri-processing, logistics and services connect each idea to your own work, whether you sit in a Dakar factory, a mining operation or a back-office team.

Because this is a non-certification, skills-focused course, there is no exam. Learning is reinforced through waste-identification exercises and discussion, and you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning, making it an ideal first step for teams beginning a Lean journey.
