lean manufacturing

The Lean Manufacturing Training Course covers on how and when systems engineering can most effectively and efficiently add value throughout a program’s lifecycle (SDLC). Lean Thinking (Lean) is the dynamic, knowledge driven and customer-focused process to eliminate waste and to create values.

With SE and Lean, organizations can create a superior systems engineering process or Lean Systems Engineering. This Program provides Lean Enablers for Managing Engineering Programs.
