Short description: 

The fundamental objective of the training is to provide the participating professionals with a general professional knowledge of the subject, based on which they can learn about the "Lean Philosophy". By applying the philosophy, losses can be made visible and thus eliminated, and the production process can be adapted to customer needs. The Lean methodology combines recognized practices of international quality development. By applying it, the processes of the organization are improved in the areas of production, administration and strategy development. Lean organizations deliver their products faster and more accurately and are able to keep their costs lower than their competitors, thus their market position is constantly improving. Lean is a system consisting of technical and management fields. Having acquired these skills, graduates will be able to build and operate lean systems.
