IntroductiON
An in-depth Lean Practitioner course
Creating efficiency at work requires more than just a single effort. Daily working habits have to be changed, team initiatives ask for new expertise, and insights have to be shared. During the Lean practitoner training, students learn how to become the driving force for such efforts. Students acquire a wide variety of tools and insights, and learn to see and solve the underlying root-causes of any problem. The strength of a Lean Practitioner is to bring teams together. They challenge unproductive habits, involve key stakeholders, and overcome reactive problem solving. Always with one goal in mind: for everyone to meet customer demands more easily.

Benefits of Lean Practitioner initiatives
Quick and thorough improvements are what makes Lean so popular, especially in organisations with operational excellence goals. Through Value Stream Maps, Kaizen events and A3 projects, results stay within reach, which makes them attractive and much easier to invest time in. Organisational issues that have been a burden since day 1 can be resolved within a single month or even a week. Not from behind a single desk, but through group efforts, right where the work is carried out. Besides thorough improvements, Lean activities are also quite fun, as they challenge others to think about work – either their own or in general – and improve on the old standards.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I enroll and join a training without any prior experience or knowledge of Lean?
Every training we provide assumes our students start the training without any understanding of the Lean Six Sigma methodology. It starts with the fundamentals and explains every topic that is mentioned without assuming prior experience. During the training, you will carry out simulations and exercises to help you develop your knowledge. If you choose to carry out a project as part of your training, you will be coached and assisted by one of the (Master) Black Belts of The Lean Six Sigma Company to help you get started.
Should I go for a Lean Practitioner or Lean Leader training?
Lean Practitioners have a different role than Lean Leaders. They carry out Lean Initiatives on a constant basis and involve stakeholders in their efforts. Lean Leaders on the other hand possess a wider range of knowledge of Lean, and train employees so they can start using the Lean methodology themselves.
Is a Lean training relevant to my career phase?
Lean is a methodology that one can start using during any career phase and this training is the ideal starting point. Even as a beginner, your work can add tremendous value. Lean can serve as an addition to your current work, replacing a part of your existing responsibilities. Or it can become a new full-time career, depending on the training you choose.
Do you offer any evening- or weekend training?
The Lean Six Sigma Company strives to organize its courses training during normal working hours.
This is a conscious choice in order to avoid interfering with the private lives of our students and to get students used to the idea of working with Lean Six Sigma during typical working hours, and continue this habit once they complete the training.
However, some local exceptions apply. Please reach out to to the helpdesk in your region if you have any questions
Do you offer training in other languages?
More information about our worldwide presence can be found on our theleansixsigmacompany.eu worldmap page, here you will find in which countries we are currently active and offer training.
