White Belt for Teams
Participants discover the fundamentals of Lean and experience how teams analyze processes, identify waste, and improve performance through a simulated Kaizen event based on a cross-functional business process.
The training combines hands-on experimentation, team collaboration, and facilitated discussion to illustrate how Lean improvement works in practice.
Learning Objectives
This training helps participants understand the principles of Lean and the value of continuous improvement in everyday work.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
-
Understand the fundamentals of Lean and the concept of waste elimination
-
Recognize how process improvements can enhance operational performance
-
Experience how teams collaborate to analyze and improve workflows
-
Understand the principles behind Kaizen events and continuous improvement initiatives
-
Appreciate the impact of Lean thinking on everyday work
Training Program
The training is built around an interactive simulation designed to illustrate Lean improvement in practice.

The session typically includes:
-
Introduction to Lean principles and continuous improvement
-
Simulation of a cross-functional business process (order reception, processing/production, invoicing, and delivery)
-
Identification of inefficiencies and sources of waste within the process
-
Implementation of improvements through successive improvement cycles
-
Debrief and discussion on Lean principles and lessons learned
