“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 and logistics specialist.”

“This training was inspirational and gave me confidence to continue in my journey of continuous improvement. Thank you James and Michelle!

“Thank you, James. I learned a lot from this course. I look forward to continuing my project under these lean principles. My biggest takeaway 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.”

“Thank you, James, for everything throughout this training. The certification and reference materials you provided will be valuable as I progress throughout my career. I’m transitioning into a project manager role this year and I will be able to leverage what I learned as I move much closer to the gemba!”

“Thanks guys! I really had fun during this course you guys made it very interesting and interactive. The Lean culture’s motto: blame the process not the employee has definitely opened my eyes on how I may be able to fix some of these processes to make it easier and more efficient for myself and the employees.”

“Thank you for a great training series! Lean Thinking’s blame the process, not the people mindset resonates with me. I now quote this every time I see an opportunity for improvement. I learned that focusing on eliminating waste, workplace organization, and visual standard work are the answer to the question: We want to do it (Lean) but how do I get started? Then you have to sustain: Always seek ways to continuously improve, never accept the status quo as good enough.”

“This certification has opened my eyes up a lot and seeing things in a different way. I will continue to work with my team on improvement and see what other changes we can get implemented here in the near future.”
