Lean Manufacturing:
Introduction to Pull / Kanban Systems

Master the Principles Behind Flow, Efficiency, and Inventory Control

In Lean Manufacturing, less truly is more. This course introduces participants to Pull Systems and Kanban, two essential tools that reduce inventory waste, improve flow, and drive efficiency across production environments.

Through engaging instruction and real-world examples, learners will explore how these systems work in tandem to create a responsive production environment that aligns with customer demand—eliminating overproduction and minimizing lead times.
