Dare to learn about lean manufacturing

Toyota is a brand that needs no introduction. It is the second largest car manufacturer worldwide (surpassed only by the Volkswagen Group) and was elected in 2017 as the most valuable automotive company in the market, valued at 28700 million dollars. Much of its success came to light during the 70s, thanks to the book "The Machine that changed the world": the use of lean manufacturing: a management model that emphasizes using the strictly necessary resources and discarding those that represent a hindrance to the manufacturing flow such as: overproduction, waiting time, inventories, among others. By accessing our Postgraduate Certificate, you will not only be able to fully understand this dynamic, but also other derivations such as the Kaizen method or the 5S, thus becoming part of a select group that can perform adequately in management and/or control positions in the supply chain.
