Lean Certification Program

LEAN is about operating the most efficient and effective organization possible, with the least amount of cost and zero waste. It requires companies to make smart use of all their resources, including their people. LEAN initiatives may have launched in manufacturing, but companies/organizations and service providers of all kinds and sizes will benefit from its techniques. This six-day course will focus on practical skills through interactive participation, breakout sessions and the completion of projects. Instructor: John Veatch, president, Lean Concepts, Inc.
