ISL-Lean Bronze Certification

(Based on the Body-of-Knowledge of SME, USA)

 
 

Lean is the term coined by a group of researchers at MIT, USA while they studied Toyota Production System (TPS) as part of an international automotive industry. Lean manufacturing methods have been pioneered, refined and perfected at Toyota Motors, Japan. Lean became associated with a certain business capability - "The ability to accomplish more with less".

Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach for identifying and eliminating waste in operations through continuous improvement for doing everything more efficiently, reducing the cost of operating the system and fulfilling the customer's desire for maximum value at the lowest price.
Lean companies substantially improve their products and services while at the same time reducing waste and corresponding costs.Successful implementation of a lean improves an organization’s marketplace and financial performance. 

Lean efforts are not limited to manufacturing; a lean mindset applies to any process.   Lean techniques can be used to reduce waste and add value to processes in the office, in maintenance, and even in sales and R&D.  In some cases, the impact of a lean approach in the office can be even more dramatic than in manufacturing processes.

Bronze certification is focused on tactical Lean, which is the application of Lean principles, concepts and methods at a local level. You should also have the ability to teach the basic tools of Lean.

  • To understand the basic concepts, tools and practices of Lean
