Postgraduate certificate Continuous Process Improvement

This prestigious program enables students to master the development of continuous improvement processes based on the Lean Manufacturing methodology, which aims to achieve total quality by eliminating waste. Among the tools studied in detail are visual management, leveled production, and the principles of Just-in-Time, Quality at the Source, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) — which improves machines — and the development of teams formed by excellent individuals. The program also includes a review of alternative theories that have the same goal, such as Six Sigma, World Class Manufacturing (WCM), and the Theory of Constraints (ToC), as well as how to manage change to implement these theories.
