Lean Wave

A Lean Wave combines weekly, targeted Lean training with direct practical application. Every one to two weeks, you immerse yourself in a Lean theme and start working with it on the same day within your own organization, under the intensive guidance of an experienced coach. This way you will quickly make concrete progress!

Lean principles immediately into practice, resulting in fast, tangible results and a sustainable change in behavior within the organization. This makes implementation many times easier and more successful.

The Lean Wave is characterized by a unique combination of theory and practice: every one to two weeks your team receives a short, focused training on a Lean theme (1-2 hours). Afterwards, often the same day, you will start working directly in your own work environment under the guidance of an experienced coach. Through on-the-job coaching, we help you practice and master the new way of working.

With a team-level Lean Wave, you realize concrete and sustainable results:

  • Lean Leadership and Lean Work are actually gaining a foothold.
  • Basic stability is created (consider consistency in man, method, material and machine).
  • Continuous improvement becomes an integral part of the daily work rhythm.
  • A cultural shift is taking place, with Lean thinking and doing becoming the new standard.
  • You achieve tangible improvements in safety, quality, productivity and costs.

We build the Lean Wave in a logical way:

1. Who are our customers and who else are in our value stream(Value Stream Mapping)?

2. How do we know if we are successful ? (Operational Management)

3. How do we deal with deviations and how can we resolve the deviations quickly?(Problem Solving)

4. How can we simplify and standardize with work?(Standardized Work)

5. How to train the new way of working according to the TWI way (key steps, key points and reasons why in 4 stages and 7 rounds / Job Instruction)

6. How can you set up and do your job well as a team leader?(Gemba Walk, Visualization)

7. How can you optimize the work environment?(5S workplace organization)

8. How can you improve current standards?(Kaizen and ECRS)

9. How to establish and implement new management routines . (Leader Standard Work)
