Lean for Maintenance Improvement

This course introduces the core Lean principles and shows how they apply directly to maintenance activities. Delegates learn how to identify waste, streamline workflows, and use tools such as 5S, Kaizen, and Value Stream Mapping to speed up maintenance tasks and improve reliability. Key Lean metrics like Takt Time, Cycle Time, and OEE are covered to help teams measure and sustain performance gains.
