  • Summarize project lessons and create models that can be reused, sharing best practices across the company.
  • Development and Implementation of Lean Training System :
  • Deliver layered training courses (e.g., on 5S organization, TPM maintenance, value stream mapping, industrial engineering tools) for managers, frontline staff, and specialized teams in manufacturing and logistics.

  • Update training materials (e.g., case studies, visual aids) and build lean awareness through classes, practical exercises, and simulations.
  • Measure training results and check how knowledge is applied via assessments and improvement ideas, building a culture of lean in daily work.
  • Lean Activities Planning and Execution :
  • Plan and run yearly, quarterly, and monthly lean events (e.g., Lean Month, focusing on the Eight Wastes) to encourage continuous improvement in manufacturing and logistics.

  • Set up a cross-department lean sharing platform (e.g., regular sessions for sharing improvements, visits to benchmark areas).
  • What You Will Achieve :

  • Drive measurable gains, such as reducing waste, improving delivery times, and lowering costs across manufacturing and logistics.
  • Build a stronger lean culture, leading to higher quality, better team engagement, and data-backed decisions that support company growth.
