DetailsCourse Content How do successful organizations continuously improve their performance? How do they reduce waste\, increase customer value\, and create a culture of continuous learning and improvement? In this elective\, you will learn the principles and tools of Lean Continuous Improvement and apply them to a real-life improvement challenge. Throughout the course\, you will work on an A3 improvement project\, enabling you to translate theory directly into practice. You will start by exploring the foundations of Lean\, including the five Lean principles and the eight wastes. Next\, you will learn how to understand customer value using tools such as the Kano Model and Net Promoter Score (NPS). The course then focuses on process analysis through Value Stream Mapping (VSM). You will learn how to map current processes\, identify waste and bottlenecks\, and prioritize improvement opportunities. Using the Kaizen methodology\, you will define problems\, investigate root causes through techniques such as the 5 Whys\, and develop effective improvement solutions. You will also gain hands-on experience with Lean concepts such as flow\, takt time\, line balancing\, pull systems\, Kanban\, 5S\, and visual performance management. Through simulations and practical exercises\, you will discover how these tools contribute to more efficient and reliable processes.In the final part of the course\, you will focus on implementation and sustaining improvements. Topics include Toyota Kata\, Hoshin Kanri\, the X-Matrix\, Obeya\, stakeholder management\, and the ACCA dialogue model\, helping you understand how improvement initiatives can be aligned with organizational strategy and successfully embedded within teams. As part of the elective\, you will also have the opportunity to earn an internationally recognized Lean Green Belt certification\, demonstrating your ability to analyze and improve processes using proven industry methodologies. By the end of the course\, you will be able to identify improvement opportunities\, analyze processes\, solve operational problems\, and implement sustainable improvements that create value for both organizations and their customers. Course Times Details forthcoming Tutors Marleen van Nuil Study Programme International Business ECTS 5 (check “Recognition of ECTS” section for more information) Contact Hours 2\,5 European Qualifications Framework (EQF) Bachelor level (EQF6) Prerequisites None \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Further information \n \n \n \n \n Recognition of ECTS \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Please note that the recognition of the ECTS provided through this activity on your Transcript of Records depends on the decision of the responsible E³UDRES² coordinators or academic authority of your study programme at your home institution.

Topics include Toyota Kata\, Hoshin Kanri\, the X-Matrix\, Obeya\, stakeholder management\, and the ACCA dialogue model\, helping you understand how improvement initiatives can be aligned with organizational strategy and successfully embedded within teams. As part of the elective\, you will also have the opportunity to earn an internationally recognized Lean Green Belt certification\, demonstrating your ability to analyze and improve processes using proven industry methodologies. By the end of the course\, you will be able to identify improvement opportunities\, analyze processes\, solve operational problems\, and implement sustainable improvements that create value for both organizations and their customers. Course Times Details forthcoming Tutors Marleen van Nuil Study Programme International Business ECTS 5 (check “Recognition of ECTS” section for more information) Contact Hours 2\,5 European Qualifications Framework (EQF) Bachelor level (EQF6) Prerequisites None \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Further information \n \n \n \n \n Recognition of ECTS \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Please note that the recognition of the ECTS provided through this activity on your Transcript of Records depends on the decision of the responsible E³UDRES² coordinators or academic authority of your study programme at your home institution. We strongly recommend contacting them before starting an activity that awards ECTS in order to avoid any unexpected difficulties later on. Depending on their decision\, one of the following scenarios may apply: Your credits are recognised and can replace another course within your regular study programme.Your credits are recognised and can be included in the elective or free-choice space of your study programme (if applicable).Your credits are recognised as extra-curricular\, meaning they cannot replace another course or be included in the elective or free-choice space of your programme (if applicable).When contacting the responsible E³UDRES² coordinators at your home institution\, please ensure you provide all relevant information about the E³UDRES² activity so they can properly evaluate your request. \n \n \n \n \n \n View local E³UDRES² contacts\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Teaching Methods \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Online lecturesGuest lecturePeer review sessions \n \n \n \n \n Learning Outcomes \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n The student: Describes the core concepts of Lean methodologies\, including value\, value stream\, flow\, pull\, and perfection\, and explain their role in continuous improvement.Explains the principles of waste elimination and process efficiency\, and how they contribute to fostering a culture of continuous improvement.Describes key Lean tools such as Value Stream Mapping\, 5 Whys\, and Root Cause Analysis\, and their applications in process improvement.Analyses current and future trends by collecting and interpreting relevant data to forecast potential scenarios.Evaluates new and unfamiliar contexts by gathering data and identifying potential strengths and weaknesses.Synthesizes collected data to identify opportunities and threats for the organization\, leveraging these insights within a multidisciplinary team to develop strategic recommendations.Assesses the impact of potential strategies by conducting thorough impact analyses to determine their viability\, desirability\, and sustainability.Investigates and initiate research activities to identify potential internal and external stakeholders on an international scale\, based on a general problem or assignment.Applies continuous improvement principles and techniques to real-world scenarios to drive organizational performance and enhance efficiency  \n \n \n \n \n Assessment \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Written exam and A3 report \n \n \n \n \n \n Literature & Materials \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Book: Lean Green Belt by Ton van Kollenburg (instructions on how to order this book will be provided after enrollment).
