Lean Production Course – HRDF Claimable | 2-day course

Lean Production Management Course – HRD Corp Claimable – Malaysia

 

Wonder why when most final products or service are produced, a large portion of that work such as those that cost money, takes time, uses up manpower or materials doesn’t directly add any value and even worse, does not make the product or service better in the eyes of the customer. That’s exactly what Lean Management 6 Sigma resolves, the problem of wasting–time, effort, materials, cost, motion, and even human potential. In addition to that, this Lean Production Course aims to create value for the customer by removing everything that doesn’t contribute to that value.

What is Lean Production?

 

Lean Production, also referred to as Lean Manufacturing, Lean Thinking, or Lean Management, is a business improvement philosophy focused on delivering maximum value to the customer while using minimum resources. Originally pioneered by Toyota in the mid-20th century through the Toyota Production System (TPS), Lean has since become a globally adopted standard across manufacturing, services, logistics, healthcare, software development, and even education.

Lean is not just a set of tools — it is a way of thinking and operating that involves everyone in the organization, from frontline workers to top management. It focuses on removing waste, improving process flow, and delivering products or services that truly meet customer needs.

Core Principles of Lean Production Management

Define Value (from the Customer’s Perspective)

Value in Lean is not what the company thinks is valuable, but what the customer is actually willing to pay for. Everything else — time, materials, energy, or resources used in producing something that doesn’t add customer value — is considered waste.

Map the Value Streams

The value stream is the complete set of activities that bring a product or service from concept to delivery. Mapping the value stream helps visualize all steps — both value-added and non-value-added — in order to identify where waste exists and opportunities for improvement lie.

Create Flow

Once waste is removed, steps should flow seamlessly without delays, backtracking, or bottlenecks. Flow ensures that tasks, products, or information move smoothly through each stage, minimizing disruption and waiting time.

Establish Pull

In contrast to traditional systems that push products based on forecasts, a pull system in Lean ensures that nothing is made unless there is a real demand for it. This reduces overproduction, lowers inventory costs, and allows for more responsiveness to customer needs.

Pursue Perfection

Lean is grounded in the concept of Kaizen, or continuous improvement. Organizations are encouraged to continually refine processes, reduce waste, and involve all employees in suggesting and implementing improvements. The goal is operational excellence and a commitment to doing better every day.

Lean Tools and Techniques

Lean employs practical tools to implement its principles:

    • 5S (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) – Workplace organization
    • Kanban – Visual scheduling system
    • Kaizen – Continuous improvement workshops
    • Poka-Yoke – Mistake-proofing techniques
    • Andon – Visual alert system for quality issues
    • Standardized Work – Defining best practices
    • Takt Time – Aligning production pace with customer demand
    • SMED – Reducing changeover time for equipment

The Benefits of Lean Production

Improved Operational Efficiency

By streamlining tasks and removing unnecessary steps, Lean enables teams to do more with less — reducing waste and increasing output without additional strain on resources.

Cost Reduction

Lean identifies and eliminates non-value activities that consume resources. Lower inventory, fewer defects, and more efficient labour directly translate to cost savings.

Faster Turnaround Times

With smoother workflow and better coordination, Lean significantly shortens lead times, making product delivery faster and more reliable.

Higher Quality Output

Lean emphasizes getting things right the first time (First Time Right), using tools like root cause analysis and mistake-proofing to improve consistency and reduce errors.

Better Use of People’s Potential

Lean empowers employees at all levels to contribute ideas and solve problems, creating a culture of engagement, ownership, and innovation.

Greater Customer Satisfaction

By focusing on what truly matters to customers — timely delivery, quality products, and efficient service — Lean helps organizations build stronger relationships and earn repeat business.

Scalability and Flexibility

Lean systems are easier to adapt and scale as demand or conditions change. This agility makes Lean organizations more resilient in a competitive landscape.

Why Lean Matters Today

In today’s fast-paced, customer-driven world, businesses can no longer afford waste — whether it’s wasted time, talent, or material. Lean offers a proven framework to become more agile, more efficient, and more competitive. It’s as much about changing mindset and culture as it is about optimizing systems.

Whether you’re in manufacturing, service, retail, healthcare, or education — Lean can be adapted to help your team deliver better outcomes with less effort. That’s why joining this Lean Production Management course is essential for companies who want to maximize their efficiency.
