An applied lean manufacturing course for supervisors, manufacturing engineers, cell leaders and key operators. We work on your own line: we map the value stream, document standard work, shorten model changeovers and design error-proofing devices, with an AI agent between sessions and a DC-3 certificate filed with Mexico's STPS.

It is a 12-hour program that teaches how to eliminate waste and stabilize the operation with the lean tools most used on the plant floor: value stream mapping (VSM), standard work, kaizen, SMED and poka-yoke. It runs on-site at your plant, live virtual or self-paced, with a DC-3 certificate and an applied project.
The essentials at a glance.

Learning objectives observable on the job.
Map the current value stream, identify waste and define a future state.
Document takt, sequence and standard inventory so every shift works the same way.
Apply SMED to separate internal and external activities and cut changeover time.
Design poka-yoke devices and run kaizen events with before-and-after indicators.
Six modules; each one leaves a deliverable you can apply in your operation.
Value from the customer's view, the eight wastes and how they show up on your line.
Waste walkCurrent state, cycle times, inventories, information flow and future state.
VSM of a product familyTakt time, work sequence, standard work in process and standard work sheets.
Standard work sheetInternal and external activities, conversion, parallel work and changeover standardization.
Changeover procedureTypes of error-proofing devices, detection versus prevention and selection by defect.
Poka-yoke proposalPreparing, running and following up a kaizen event, and how to sustain improvements.
90-day kaizen planProduction supervisors, cell leaders, manufacturing and process engineers, continuous improvement coordinators and key operators at automotive, auto parts and general manufacturing plants. It is also useful for internal logistics and maintenance teams that take part in model changeovers and kaizen events.
Up-to-date standard work sheets at every station, waste identified on a value stream map with an agreed future state, shorter model changeovers documented step by step, poka-yoke devices on recurring defects and a first kaizen event with measured results. We assess learning and the progress of the applied project.

Geedle Bot is trained on the syllabus, materials and recordings of your course. Participants ask in plain language and get an exact answer, not a generic one.
All of them issue a DC-3 certificate and leave records on the platform; what changes is how people practice and how the calendar is organized.
