The Lean Practitioner training is ideal for those wanting to implement or understand Lean. It is available to all levels and can be applied to any industry sector. You do not need any prior knowledge or experience of Lean to take this course. Participants receiving this certification will be able to identify and eliminate obstacles in their work, increase departmental performance by using the Lean improvement techniques, and together with a team, offer quick and effective solutions to process issues within their department or organization.
