Introduction to Lean Thinking for Business Advisors
Overview / who should attend and why?
Many organisations wish to have key business improvement and managers trained as Lean Masters and have them certified as capable of running lean programs. This would mean that the Lean Master has a full understanding of the principles of lean as well as the tools and techniques associated with lean. 100% Effective Training runs a number of lean certification programs. In order to certify the lean master candidate must demonstrate through an exam, interview and presentation (to demonstrate successful use of the tools) that they can run workshops, train people in lean and ultimately improve businesses through the use of the tools. This program is designed to provide the theory and explain in practical terms all the principles of lean and the tools associated with it. It uses a number of simulations and games to demonstrate the learning. This is an ideal program for any manager, consultant or business improvement specialist to master lean thinking.
