Developing a Lean environment,
IMS Module 4
Yours might be one of the many businesses under pressure to improve deliverables to customers with a streamlined operation at lower costs, so this is an ideal module for you. We explain how Lean is about minimising or avoiding all forms of wasted resource: time, cost, materials, equipment, knowledge, talent, information, space, energy, materials. Our course covers Lean techniques and approaches including 5S, Value Stream Mapping, developing cells and teams, Quicker Changeovers (SMED), all of which contributes to improving productivity.
Combining Lean with industrial engineering approaches has considerable impact on productivity. This course will help you on your Lean journey.
The successful completion of Modules 1, 2, 3 and 4 results in a professional Institute qualification, the IMS Productivity Analyst, which is recognised across all business sectors and in many overseas countries.

“Really enjoyed this module. It made me realise that we already have implemented many of these practices. Now as an Industrial Engineer I am well equipped to ensure that we maintain these practices throughout the factory.”
