Lean Systems Certification Course

Monday Dec 7 - Friday Dec 11, 2009

The UK Lean Certification Program starts the development of your own internal support facilitators for the lean transformation process. Begun in the early 90’s, this “Train the Trainer” program has become known worldwide and has helped hundreds of companies nationally and internationally.

Unlike other training programs, the UK certification program is not a “Lean Champion” or “Lean Expert” program. Instead UK is guided by Toyota’s belief that there is no such thing as a “kaizen specialist” or a “lean expert.” Those titles indicate a basic misunderstanding, i.e. participants are trained to have all the answers or can lead the effort all by themselves.
