Why Lean Enterprise Certification?
Lean Enterprise Certification is used to assist manufacturers in preparing their workforce for developing and implementing Lean initiatives. The Certification provides workers with knowledge, credentials, and a nationally recognized certification – a standards examination developed by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME), and the Shingo Institute – provides manufacturers with a qualified workforce who understands and can enable Lean.
