Lean improvement efforts enable organizations to make dramatic reductions in waste and non-value-added activities to become highly effective, competitive, and profitable operations. The basic concept of Lean is to “do more with less.” Many companies on the path to Lean have achieved 50% or greater improvements in cycle time, inventory, product development time, labor hours, defects, space requirements, and more.

Lean, based on the Toyota Production System, includes techniques such as Value Stream Mapping, Visual Systems, Standardized Work, Quick Changeovers, Mistake-Proofing, Total Productive Maintenance, and Kaizen continuous improvement. In addition to these and other Lean techniques, the CPCC Lean Enterprise Certification course provides practitioner training in the supporting skills of Basic Quality Tools, Root Cause Analysis, Facilitation, Brainstorming and Prioritizing, Project management, Change Management, and Leadership.
