Testimonials

•   “I’ve received Lean training before, but wanted to let you know that this program is the most informative Lean training I’ve ever participated in. The training has helped me make sustainable improvements to my processes as a warehouse manager.”
  

• “This training is a great opportunity! I highly recommend it! I learned so much from the instructors and my classmates. It will change your organization for the better.”

• “Thank you for a great class!  Lean Thinking’s “blame the process, not the people” mindset resonates with me. I learned a lot from this training. One of my biggest takeaways was the importance of “going to the Gemba” to show the employees that you care about them and their work, while also enabling them to contribute and grow.”
  
  

• “This training has helped me think of many ways on how to improve things. I really enjoyed the instructor’s style and how he blended Lean concepts with real-world examples.”
