    What Is Kanban and What Will It Help You Do?Visualise Work, Limit WIP, Improve Flow

    Kanban Training in Zimbabwe teaches you to run work as a visual, pull-based system that limits overload and keeps delivery flowing. Kanban began on the Toyota Production System factory floor, where Taiichi Ohno used signal cards to authorise production only when downstream demand called for it, and was later adapted by David J. Anderson for software, IT and service teams. Over a focused one-day (eight-hour) programme you learn both sides of Kanban: the manufacturing pull system (production and withdrawal kanban, supermarkets, kanban sizing and just-in-time) and knowledge-work Kanban (boards, work-in-progress limits, flow metrics and the cumulative flow diagram). Hands-on design exercises run throughout the day. This practical course suits production, operations, supply chain, IT and project professionals across Zimbabwe who want to cut waste, shorten lead times and make work visible. You leave with a course completion record from Invensis Learning and skills you can apply the same week.

    The Kanban Skills You Will BuildFrom Board Design to Flow Metrics

    This training gives you practical, hands-on capability across both manufacturing and knowledge-work Kanban. By the end of the one-day programme you can design pull systems and boards, set WIP limits, and use flow metrics to keep improving.

    Pull vs Push Thinking

    Skills covered in Kanban start here: explain why pull-based flow eliminates overproduction and how the kanban signal authorises work only against real downstream demand.

    Manufacturing Kanban Design

    Set up production and withdrawal kanban, supermarkets and two-bin systems, and calculate kanban quantities and card numbers for a realistic production line.

    Kanban Boards and WIP Limits

    Design boards with columns, swimlanes and classes of service, and set work-in-progress limits that expose bottlenecks and protect flow.

    Flow Metrics and the CFD

    Measure lead time, cycle time and throughput, apply Little's Law, and read a cumulative flow diagram to find and fix where work is delayed.

    Scrumban and Agile Delivery

    Combine Kanban flow with Scrum ceremonies to manage delivery in software, IT and service teams without a disruptive big-bang process change.

    Implementing and Sustaining Kanban

    Roll out Kanban using the start-with-what-you-do-now approach and keep improving by steadily reducing WIP limits and kanban quantities over time.

    General

    What is Kanban and who is this training for?

    Kanban is a visual, pull-based method for managing the flow of work, using signals and boards to release work only when there is capacity. This training suits production, operations, supply chain, IT, Agile and project professionals across Zimbabwe who want to cut waste and improve delivery.

    Is Kanban worth learning in Zimbabwe?

    Yes. Manufacturing is Zimbabwe's largest contributor to GDP, and employers in food, beverage, mining, banking and ICT increasingly value people who can cut waste and manage flow. Kanban skills apply from the factory floor to software teams, making them a practical, transferable investment.

    Does this course cover both manufacturing and Agile Kanban?

    Yes. The programme covers manufacturing Kanban, with production and withdrawal kanban, supermarkets, sizing and just-in-time, and knowledge-work Kanban, with boards, WIP limits, flow metrics and Scrumban. You leave able to apply Kanban in a production or a software and service setting.

    Do I need prior Lean or Agile experience to attend?

    No. There are no prerequisites. The course introduces every concept from first principles, so beginners and experienced practitioners both benefit. Some familiarity with Lean or production operations is helpful for the manufacturing modules but is not required.

    How long is the Kanban training?

    The programme runs for one day, a total of eight hours, and can also be delivered as two half-days. It covers Kanban foundations, manufacturing pull systems, boards and WIP limits, flow metrics and the cumulative flow diagram, with hands-on exercises throughout.

    Pricing

    How much does Kanban training cost in Zimbabwe?

    Fees vary by delivery format, whether live online, classroom or on-site, and by group size. Pricing for Zimbabwe is available on request. Contact a learning advisor for a quote tailored to individual or team enrolment.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee includes instructor-led training across all six Kanban modules, hands-on design exercises, learning materials and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Corporate bookings can also include tailored exercises and post-training support. Request a quote for full details.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing?

    Yes. We offer group pricing for teams and customised corporate packages for production, IT or cross-functional groups. Ask about corporate and group rates when you request a quote for your organisation.

    What payment options are available?

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

    Is there a discount for booking a whole team?

    Volume-based pricing is available when you train several people together, and on-site delivery is often the most cost-effective option for larger groups. Contact us for a group quote based on your headcount and preferred format.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for Kanban training?

    No. This is a non-certification, practical skills course with no test. Learning is reinforced through hands-on design exercises, worked examples and group discussion, so you focus on applying Kanban rather than sitting an assessment.

    What will I receive after completing the training?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning confirming you have completed the one-day Kanban programme. It recognises the practical skills you have built and can be shared with your employer.

    How is learning reinforced during the course?

    Through hands-on activities rather than a formal test. You practise identifying push versus pull, calculating kanban quantities, designing a board with WIP limits, and interpreting a cumulative flow diagram, all applied to realistic scenarios.

    What will I be able to do after the training?

    You will be able to design a manufacturing pull system with supermarkets and kanban cards, build a Kanban board with WIP limits and classes of service, measure lead time, cycle time and throughput, read a cumulative flow diagram, and plan a Kanban rollout.

    Does the training lead to a formal Kanban credential?

    No. Kanban training is a vendor-neutral skills programme with no awarding body or formal credential. It builds capability you can apply immediately in manufacturing, IT and service environments, and the skills do not expire or need renewal.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Kanban syllabus cover?

    The syllabus spans Kanban origins and pull production, manufacturing Kanban types and mechanics, kanban sizing and implementation, knowledge-work boards and WIP limits, flow metrics and the cumulative flow diagram, and implementing and sustaining Kanban.

    Are there hands-on exercises in the course?

    Yes. Exercises run throughout, including push versus pull identification, kanban quantity calculation, kanban loop design for a production scenario, board design for a software or IT workflow, setting WIP limits and interpreting a cumulative flow diagram.

    What is a WIP limit and does the course teach how to set one?

    A work-in-progress limit is the maximum number of items allowed in a workflow stage at once, which forces teams to finish before starting. The course explains why WIP limits improve flow and gives you a practical method for setting and adjusting them.

    Does the course cover flow metrics and the cumulative flow diagram?

    Yes. You learn to measure lead time, cycle time and throughput, apply Little's Law, and read a cumulative flow diagram to spot widening bands, bottlenecks and step changes, so you can drive improvement from data rather than opinion.

    Are learning materials provided?

    Yes. You receive structured course materials, worked examples and exercise templates covering both manufacturing and knowledge-work Kanban, so you can revisit the concepts and apply them to your own workflows after the programme.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in Kanban training in Zimbabwe?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format and dates, complete your booking, and you will receive joining details and access to course materials. Talk to a learning advisor if you need help choosing.

    What delivery formats are available?

    The training is available live online (virtual instructor-led), in classroom, on-site at your premises, and as customised corporate group training, so you can pick the format that fits your schedule and location in Zimbabwe.

    Can the training be delivered on-site for my team?

    Yes. On-site delivery is popular with production and IT teams because the trainer can build exercises around your real lines and boards. Contact us to arrange an on-site session at your location. Ask about group rates when you enquire.

    How soon can I start?

    New public sessions run regularly, and corporate on-site dates can be scheduled around your team's availability. See upcoming schedules or speak with a learning advisor to find the earliest date that works for you.

    Can I reschedule my booking?

    Yes. Flexible options let you reschedule or transfer to another session where needed. Contact our support team to arrange a change to your booking.
