New Series: Fundamentals of a COMPLETE Lean Business Management System – (3 unit series)
Foundations of A Lean Management System is the first course of three focusing on the core components of a complete Lean Business Management System – the foundation blocks of a systematic Lean Business system model, the utilization of a value stream management process, and finally the development and communication of an organizational strategy and the roles leadership plays to ensure the company becomes a high-performance enterprise.

Certificates of completion are provided for each training unit, and Lean Practitioner certification is awarded for completing the three course series & the foundational project. Hands-on simulations and exercises are included in each section.
