Lean Warehousing

Certificate III & IV in Transport & Logistics
(Warehousing and Storage)

Overview

Lean Thinking incorporates the concepts of customer value, continuous flow, pull, and relentless waste reduction, and applies them to all company improvement activity. It is an integrated set of industrial principles and methods that grew out of a groundbreaking 1990s study of the Japanese automobile industry. The underlying theme of “lean” thinking is to produce more or do more with fewer resources and less waste.
