|
| Introduction
|
| From the board room to the break room, our Certified Lean Professional (CLP) training is unmatched! We have certified hundreds of people who strive for Lean training to help both themselves and their company. Our customized training is always taught using hands-on examples and real-world case studies. Lean practitioners help companies remain competitive, innovative, and profitable. By implementing Lean, an organization can reduce cost, increase customer satisfaction, and reduce cycle-times. |

| Who Should
Attend |
| All employees will benefit from this course. For an organization to fully benefit from Lean, it is important that all employees have a thorough understanding of Lean tools and applications. From the boardroom to the break room, Lean knowledge is essential in today’s shrinking global foot print.
|
| |
| Course Requirements |
| Participants will be required to pass a certification exam and satisfactorily complete a project using Value Stream Mapping and other Lean tools. With a passing grade on the exam and a UB Lean Trainer approved project, participants will become Certified Lean Professionals. The thirty-hour course will be conducted as a series of 10 sessions delivered three hours each week. Each session will begin at 6:00 PM EST and will end at 9:00 PM EST. |
| |
| Course structure |
The course will start with an introductory session, and will go on to cover specific Lean tools such as Value Stream Mapping, Work Place Organization, Visual Control, 5-S, Flow, Mistake Proofing/Error Proofing/Poke Yoke, Set-up Reduction/Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED), Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Standardized Work, Kanban/Pull Systems and Employee Empowerment. The point-of-attraction of the course will be "The Kaizen Event" session, which will provide students with useful tools to plan and implement a Kaizen (Japanese word for continual improvement) workshop at their workplace.
As a CLP you will be able to apply the Lean tools in a real-world process, lead Lean projects, and provide basic Lean training to a wide audience of employees.
Key Benefits Include:
- Classroom training
- Hands-on experience using the Lean tools on a real process
- Experience with various Lean practitioner / Facilitator challenges
- Experience deploying Kaizen
- Team dynamics experience
Candidates will be challenged to apply the theory they have learned in practical exercises drawn from the instructors' experience in implementing Lean. Candidates will also be encouraged to bring to class for discussion, real-time situations from their individual workplaces related to the topics covered in the session. The instructor will enlighten the class on challenges faced during actual Lean implementations.
