This course introduces you to the processes and tools to implement the improvement strategies and then sustain them by controlling your process as per the implemented solutions. Based on the analysis from the previous phases of the define, measure, analyze, improve, and control (DMAIC) framework, you will learn to evaluate the potential solutions and select the most effective ones to bring improvement to your process. This may involve changing the process, introducing new tools or technologies, or implementing best practices. The course also delves into the importance of continuously refining and optimizing the process to maximize the impact of the improvement solutions.

In this module, you will be introduced to the core principles and methodologies of Lean thinking. You will gain insight into essential Lean tools and techniques such as the five Ss (5S), 5S plus safety, and 6S and single-minute exchange of die (SMED), enabling you to lead process improvement initiatives within your organizations successfully. You will learn to implement SMED, a Lean tool used in manufacturing, to decrease the equipment changeover time. Additionally, you will be introduced to 5S, another Lean tool that represents the steps needed to accomplish this objective, namely, sort, set, shine, standardize, and sustain. The key objective of 5S is to create an uncluttered environment that enables people to carry out their job responsibilities without wasting time and reducing the risk of injury.

This module introduces you to another powerful and effective Lean tool, poka-yoke, which was developed as a key component of the Toyota Production System (TPS). Poka-yoke is a process improvement technique, literally meaning “avoiding mistakes or errors.” It was developed in the 1960s by Shigeo Shingo. This technique significantly decreases the number of defects produced and is also known as error-proofing. In this module, you will learn about some real-life examples of poka-yoke and how to implement this technique by eliminating opportunities for defects or errors.
