Level One Lean Certification

Level One Lean Certification is a series of workshops, concepts and tools that apply specifically to today’s challenging work environment. The certification is a combination of both technical and social skills needed to implement sustainable change. As market forces continue to dictate price and lead time pressures, organizations need to focus their resources to meet these needs. The Level One certification is the launching of an individual’s continuous improvement journey. The certification is a pragmatic, “hit the ground running” hands-on approach that links acquired workshop knowledge to the workplace. Each candidate upon completion will learn to “Discover” improvement opportunities within an organization and learn how to capitalize on these opportunities. Each participant will be required to perform a “waste walk” within their organization and report upon their findings and recommendations to remove the identified wastes.

Fee: $2890
