Toyota, Boeing, and Nike are just a few organizations that have used Lean principles to help them become successful. Your organization, too, can incorporate Lean process improvement techniques into your corporate culture to minimize waste and maximize value.
Lean principles have come a long way over the past 300 years. From Benjamin Franklin's early ideas, to Henry Ford's work in the 1920's and the Toyoda precepts in the 1930's, to Jeffery Liker's publication of The Toyota Way in 2004, Lean processes have evolved from a simple concept to a set of widely used best practices.
This course will give participants the foundation to begin implementing Lean process improvement tools in their organization.
The first part of the course will explore the foundations of Lean through the Toyota precepts and the five critical improvement concepts (value, waste, variation, complexity, and continuous improvement).
The second part of the course will give participants tools to perform continuous improvement in their organization, including 5S, 5W-2H, PDSA, DMAIC, Kaizen, Genchi Genbutsu, and various Lean data mapping methods.

The LearnSmart Advantage
Flexible, Participant-Paced Learning
All LearnSmart courses are delivered online through our interactive learning platform, allowing participants to learn wherever and whenever it is convenient.
Using the unique login details we provide, participants simply access the course through their web browser on a computer, smartphone, or tablet – no special software installation required.
Because every participant learns differently, each person controls their own pace. They can pause, reflect, revisit previous lessons, and continue exactly where they stopped. Progress is automatically saved, making learning convenient even for busy professionals.
Most participants complete their training within one week, although they have 30 days of access (extendable where necessary).
Designed for Better Learning
LearnSmart courses are carefully designed to maximize understanding, participation, and long-term retention – not simply content consumption.
Throughout each course, participants actively engage with practical questions, exercises, knowledge checks, and interactive learning activities that reinforce understanding as they progress.
Unlike traditional classroom sessions where learning must keep pace with the facilitator, LearnSmart allows every participant to spend more time on concepts they find challenging while moving quickly through familiar areas. This flexibility leads to deeper understanding, stronger retention, and greater confidence in applying new knowledge on the job.
For the best learning experience, we recommend completing the course in shorter learning sessions spread over several days rather than trying to finish everything in one sitting.
Learning Management & Participant Support
Learning does not end after enrollment.
Our team stays in touch with participants throughout their learning journey, providing reminders, encouragement, and support until they complete their course. This proactive approach contributes to our consistently high course completion rates.
Organizational Progress Reports
For organizations enrolling employees, we provide periodic training reports until all participants complete their courses.
Each report includes:
This enables managers and HR teams to monitor participation and completion without additional administrative effort.
Knowledge Application Aid (KAA)
Training creates value only when learning is applied.
To help organizations achieve this, LearnSmart provides exclusive access to its proprietary Knowledge Application Aid (KAA) at no additional cost for organizations enrolling employees.
The Knowledge Application Aid (KAA) is LearnSmart's practical workplace reinforcement tool that helps managers encourage the application of learning on the job, sustain behaviour change, and maximize the business impact of training long after the course has been completed.
Certificate of Training
Participants who successfully complete the course receive a LearnSmart Certificate of Training.
