With the Lean Bronze Certification, you demonstrate a solid understanding of basic lean principles and tools, as well as your ability in tactical implementation projects that drive improvements and show measurable results.

Check here for dates and locations of public certification review workshops. 

To achieve Lean Bronze Certification, you will learn Lean Methodologies from a tactical viewpoint within the following key modules as identified in the Lean Body of Knowledge provided by SME / AME / ASQ / Shingo Prize:

• Cultural Enablers (15%)
• Continuous Process Improvements (60%)
• Consistent Lean Enterprise Culture (10%)
• Business Results (15%)

In our Bronze Certificate preparation workshop you will systematically review all relevant information and methodologies as outlined in the Lean Body of Knowledge. This workshop is therefore not meant to be your initial training, but an opportunity to understand the exam, organize your reference material and refresh your memory.

The open-book 170-question Lean Bronze exam takes three hours and can be taken directly after the review workshop. All exam questions are taken from the material reviewed in the workshop.

Who Should Attend?

Individuals from companies who want to introduce Lean Manufacturing in order to increase efficiency. For a successful implementation, employees from all levels need to understand the Lean Concept.
