The Lean Manager Certification program is a 4 non-consecutive week educational program that speaks to today’s operating environments. The program develops your knowledge, confidence, and skill to lead a Lean initiative in your environment – building your execution and sustainment capabilities.
An action-oriented curriculum with simulations and case study-based classroom sessions coupled with small group exercises, hands-on ‘go-do’ sessions, and project work. This format allows for practical application of the techniques being learned, helping to translate theory into action.
A comprehensive curriculum covering both the production (technical) and management (social) elements needed for a successful, sustainable Lean program.
