Lean Sigma Certificate Workshop 2012
Lean Operations is the philosophy of management that emphasizes the
minimization of all the resources used in the various activities of the
enterprise. It also involves identifying and eliminating non-value-added
activities in the product design process; the supply chain of timely
inter-related events and focus on customer needs, success and satisfaction.
Our two day Lean Sigma Certificate Workshop was originally created to review
the threads of lean operations that ultimately lead to successful lean
adoption. Evolution of this program (since 2000) has resulted in a workshop
that exposes attendees to lean terms, tools and techniques and more
importantly, allows participants to immediately apply the lessons learned
during the framework of our 2 day workshop.
Over the past decade, it has been realized that two audiences for the lean
sigma workshop exist. Some attendees only need and want a quick and intense
workshop that exposes and reveals and discusses the principles of lean
education. To that audience this Workshop will exceed expectations.
Our other audience requires that a lean foundation be quickly formed due to
current organizational circumstances. Fortunately, our lean certificate
workshop program provides the tools for a team or individual professional to
implement at a project/team level. In fact, all attendees are encouraged to
submit documentation of a project that demonstrates successful analysis and
implementation of the learned lean principles. Execution Improvement
