Lean White Belt Program

Lean Certification – White Belt Program

The Lean White Belt Certification Program is not simply a training program therefore it cannot be delivered as a public seminar. It is designed to be conducted in parallel with and in support of a Lean implementation effort.

Expectations are that the Lean White Belt candidate will:

a) Fully participate and successfully complete the entire 88-hour Lean White Belt training program (can be done in an intense 2 week workshop or in a series of  11 full-day workshops one per month over 11 months).

b) Actively apply the various “homework” assignments from each of the 22 lean topics.

c) Read the Toyota Way Fieldbook

The LWB Program is 11 days of learning for a maximum of 20-22 people. These people can come from various parts of the enterprise, manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, stores, purchasing, planning, transportation ….any part of the macro value stream. The exact schedule of days and team make-up will be determined during the Future State Program.
