Postgraduate certificate Value and Waste in Lean Manufacturing

Value and waste are two fundamental concepts in the Lean Manufacturing approach. The former refers to any activity or process that adds value to the product or service from the customer's perspective, while the latter is summarized as any activity or process that does not add value and should therefore be eliminated. This has an impact on cost reduction, quality improvement and increased efficiency in business processes. To carry out these procedures, it is necessary to have trained professionals with extensive knowledge in this field, which has prompted TECH to create the following program with the aim of training students in this sector with great professional opportunities.
