This paper examines a novel way of training Lean Manufacturing Systems and Tools utilising an Industry 4.0 methodology during the SARS-COVID2 Pandemic of 2020. Currently, it is challenging for the Integrated Production Systems Team, responsible for carrying out training on the Lean principles, to undertake the training safely and without the risk of possible disease transmission. This is due to the usual close quarters training carried out in the Engine Manufacturing Centre. Schools, Colleges and Universities have adapted and utilised technology and moved to an Industry 4.0 digitalised approach to learning and development. This is therefore an opportunity for manufacturing to follow suit and create digitised solutions to training and development opportunities, to ensure that the employees within the manufacturing facility have adequate knowledge on the Lean principles.
