When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Lean Production is a proven approach to designing efficient, high-quality, and customer-focused processes. In this course, you will learn the fundamental principles, methods, and tools of Lean Production, with a strong focus on practical application and real-world relevance.

The course introduces the Lean philosophy and its origins in the Toyota Production System, emphasizing value creation from the customer’s perspective. You will learn how to identify waste, distinguish value-adding from non-value-adding activities, and analyze processes using structured Lean thinking. Building on this foundation, the course covers key Lean concepts such as process flow, takt time, capacity, bottlenecks, and pull systems. You will learn to map and analyze processes, identify the process bottleneck and calculate resource utilization. You will investigate how variability affects systems, resulting in waiting times – even if enough capacity is available – and inventory build-up. Applicable to production or services, from banking to health care to hotel management to sales and marketing, this course helps you understand the fundamentals of Lean Production for application in any field.
