Postgraduate certificate Lean Manufacturing

In manufacturing processes, it is necessary to achieve a balance between resources and the final product, in such a way as to reduce costs and, therefore, be more efficient. Lean Manufacturing arises as an essential tool in this field, by means of which losses are minimized, eliminating those processes that, rather than adding value to the product, reduce it. This TECH Technological University program, aimed specifically at engineering professionals, is intended to provide the advanced knowledge needed to apply these new methods in production processes.
