In today's competitive business environment, eliminating waste and improving efficiency are key to sustainable success for companies. This course is deeply rooted in the core foundation of the Toyota Production System (TPS) – the "Muda" management concept. This concept was proposed and continuously refined by Taiichi Ohno, the founder of the Toyota Production System, who initially systematically summarised the "Seven Wastes". Later, with the development of modern management practices, the crucial "Eighth Waste" – the waste of unused human potential – was added, forming a more comprehensive "7 1" waste system.
This is a highly efficient 20‑minute course designed to equip you with a sharp set of "insightful eyes".
