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. \nCourse Times \nDetails forthcoming \nTutors \nMarleen van Nuil \nStudy Programme \nInternational Business \nECTS \n5 (check “Recognition of ECTS” section for more information) \nContact Hours \n2\,5 \nEuropean Qualifications Framework (EQF) \nBachelor level (EQF6) \nPrerequisites \nNone \nFurther information\n\nRecognition of ECTS \n\nPlease 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.
