KAEFER’s Lean Development Programme

Be­ing lean means keep­ing the big pic­ture in mind. But it’s also about know­ing that the big pic­ture con­sists of many smal­ler ones. That's why KAEFER has ex­tens­ive lean train­ing for our em­ploy­ees. It’s one of the ways we are dif­fer­ent in ap­ply­ing lean, in that we want the maxim of zero waste to run through our blood.

Our Lean De­vel­op­ment Pro­gramme gives our em­ploy­ees the tools to be­come pro­cess im­provers and coaches. It does not mat­ter if it is a Line Man­ager, Pro­ject or Site Man­ager; each em­ployee is trained to take own­er­ship of pro­cess im­prove­ment and to be­come a coach to help oth­ers to de­velop as well. This is achieved with learn­ing about lean prin­ciples and meth­od­o­lo­gies and ex­per­i­en­cing their prac­tical ap­plic­a­tions.

The pro­gramme of­fers a range of cer­ti­fic­a­tions: Lean Prac­ti­tioner, Lean Pro­fes­sional and Lean Mas­ter: This al­lows them to build upon their skills, de­velop them­selves and gain valu­able, prac­tical in­sights into how to use lean to stay ahead of the game. The re­ward is not just an easier and less waste­ful work­flow, but also an in­vest­ment in the per­sonal de­vel­op­ment of each in­di­vidual man­ager at KAEFER.

Don't just take our word for it, however. Just ask any of the over 1,600 em­ploy­ees from more than 35 coun­tries that have suc­cess­fully be­gun their train­ing.
