The Foundation module introduces the core principles that support Lean thinking and workplace productivity. You’ll learn how to “see” processes more clearly, practice observing work through the Stand in the Circle approach, and explore the fundamentals of 3S (Sort, Straighten/Set in Order, and Sweep/Shine). The module also introduces the concept of value and helps you identify waste using the TIMWOODS framework, building a practical understanding of how small improvements can create meaningful impact.
