The purpose of this standard is to focus on the importance of sustaining and embedding improvement for the final stages of a Lean project.
Covering the knowledge and skills to build a Lean Practitioners confidence in their ability to lead an active project through to completion.
A series of on-the-job activities guide learners through daily problem solving, evaluating and reporting the benefits of the lean activity and reporting those findings. These are supported by online learning on time management, collaborative planning, production control and reporting.
Learners participate in two structured Project Review sessions (Improve and Control/Transfer and benefits), where they present progress and receive feedback. A Lean Coach supports and assesses learners throughout, ensuring the tools are applied effectively and learning is evidenced in real project work.
Additional Information
- Learners will need to have completed Lean Practitioner Module 1 and Lean Practitioner Module 2 and to be practically applying their knowledge on an Improvement Project
- Module 3 is delivered through a blend of facilitated learning, online resources, and applied project work. The emphasis is on active coaching and real-world application, as learners lead their own improvement projects through the improve, control and transfer stages.
- Learning is supported by a Lean Coach, who provides one-to-one and group facilitation, helping learners plan, apply, and reflect on Lean tools in their own context. Key concepts are introduced through guided sessions and reinforced through coaching during activity delivery.
- Learners complete a series of practical, workplace-based tasks, gathering evidence such as daily problem solving, standardised work, collaborative planning production control and visual management. Progress is reviewed at two key points, where learners present their work and receive feedback to strengthen their approach.
This module prioritises learning by doing, with coaching and facilitation ensuring that tools are not just understood but meaningfully applied in live project environments.
