    Step-by-step training

    Lean Development Program Level

    Lean Manager Program

    For the first stage of our LDP, trainees learn the basics of lean management. This includes, for example, the 5S and 8V methods.

    Here, the trainee should learn to recognize potential and lay the initial foundations for more advanced methods.

    Lean Expert Program

    For the second stage of the LDP, trainees must then master the application of advanced methods

    Here, the basics are deepened and further methods for unlocking potential, such as TPM and SFM, are taught using the 4-step model.

    Lean Senior Program

    At the 3rd level, the Lean Expert is enabled to pass on his knowledge as a multiplier in the company.

    In addition to further deepening the Lean methods, didactic skills are learned here that help the Lean Trainer to train other employees.
