Companies are always looking for new ways to improve business efficiency and increase quality.

In this course, you'll learn about Lean strategies to reduce waste by determining which operations add value and which don't. You'll explore the concept of continuous flow, and discover how to balance work processes to make production flow more efficient. You'll define what waste is, where it exists, and what causes it.
