This Certificate III in Competitive Systems and Practices course is designed for employees within any type of industry who are seeking to understand and attain foundational skills and knowledge across the fundamental pillars of Lean principles and tools. The program will develop the disciplines of Competitive Systems and Practices within any type of organisation seeking to drive a continuous improvement culture.
The program is made up of two nested components, the first being a kinaesthetic learning of 5S (workplace organisation) and the second being application-based learning in process mapping, standardised work, visual workplace and the well-established Lean deployment model known as PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act).

The course is intended to skill learners who have not had any previous training or exposure to Competitive Systems and Practices or Lean tools. This course is designed to support and complement the existing technical or operational skills and knowledge of the learner as well as current best practices in the workplace.
