Introduction
If you are serious about employing Lean, you must understand what a team needs. When it comes to Lean initiatives and keeping momentum, ordinary management styles tend to fall short. During this course, you find out how to train people in Lean, and manage team members during their Lean work. The content of the training will make you intricately familiar with the history, philosophy and best practices which make Lean so effective. And with the help of our Lean Experts, the practical side of the methodology becomes your toolbox. With your new knowledge of Lean tools, methods and leadership techniques, you aid your team in avoiding pitfalls and achieving consistent results.
organisational BENEFITS
Because Lean activities do not thrive under a centralized style of direction, a manager who also manages in a Lean way is most effective. Lean Managers help their team achieve greater results and contribution to company goals. Similarly, without a leader who understands the cyclical nature of Lean, results will be less consistent. A core principle of Lean is that without a cycle of constant vigilance and improvement (i.e. PDCA), processes revert back to ad-hoc chaos, and improvements will be undone. By employing a Lean Leader to spearhead a team of Lean professionals, their work, initiatives and results can be much more effective and impactful.

Curriculum
In comparison to our Lean Practitioner (LP) Training, the Lean Leader (LL) Training has been designed for professionals looking to take charge of Lean activities in their department. This training is one of the most extensive Lean courses we have available.
From the simple understanding of ‘waste’, to more complex concepts such as Lean company culture and how to achieve it, this training offers it all. A Lean Leader is expected to possesses knowledge of concepts such as the 14 Management Principles of Toyota, SMED, OEE and more. During this training, our Lean Experts ensure you understand even the most complex concepts of the Lean methodology.
After completing the training, you will be able to use your knowledge to optimize and refine existing processes. Your knowledge will help create new daily work habits and establish you as a true change agent.
Lean tools can be used in any industry, as any repetitive process can be optimized. With the tools and methods offered by the methodology, you will have the solution to any challenge. Lean Leader training is the ideal way to bring process improvement to your work environment with an ISO-level course and a prestigious certificate.
In the next section, we highlight what specifics the training includes.

Students of The Lean Six Sigma Company have two options: they can choose from a course which includes a project and all the necessary coaching from an experienced project coach, or enroll in the course without carrying out a project.

Starting Dates
FAQ
Every course we provide assumes our students start the course 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 course, 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 course, you will be coached and assisted by one of the (Master) Black Belts of The Lean Six Sigma Company to help you get started.
This depends on your goals and what you intend to achieve. If you would prefer to employ Lean Six Sigma on a part-time basis, for example alongside other work, the Green Belt course would be the best choice. If it’s your aim to work with Continuous Improvement and Lean Six Sigma on a full-time basis, then the Black Belt course would be the right pick.
Lean and Lean Six Sigma are methodologies that one can start using during any career phase, and this course is the ideal starting point. Even as a beginner, your work can add tremendous value. Either methodology 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 course you choose.
The main difference is the scope of your projects. Green Belt course are usually aimed at solving issues that affect a single department stakeholders. Black Belt course tend to tackle long-standing, complex issues that cross departmental lines and affect different stakeholders. The responsibilities of a Green Belt align with those of a project manager. Black Belts carry more responsibilities and take a more active, leading role where they direct other Green Belts during projects.
The Services course is most fitting for those employed in transactional careers such as general administration, logistics, finance, etc. The ‘Manufacturing’ course is most fitting for those involved with mass production, machinery, factories and automation). Of course, those who complete the Manufacturing course can still carry out projects in the aforementioned transactional fields.
The Green Belt course has very little statistics content, as opposed to our Black Belt course. Yet even the Black Belt courses have designed to start at the very basics, on the assumption that our students aren’t familiar with anything related to statistics. We realize the idea of working with statistics can sound somewhat intimidating, but our trainers have helped thousands of students understand (and find their interest in) statistics. Additionally, we offer complementary courses and several videos on our MyTraining™ platform that will help you prepare for, or repeat, specific exercises.
The Lean Six Sigma Company strives to organise its courses 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 course.
However, some local exceptions apply. Please reach out to our helpdesk at info@theleansixsigmacompany.in if you have any questions.

This depends on your goals and what you intend to achieve. If you would prefer to employ Lean Six Sigma on a part-time basis, for example alongside of other work, the Green Belt course would be the best choice. If it’s your aim to work with Continuous Improvement and Lean Six Sigma on a full-time basis, then the Black Belt course would be the right pick. The same applies to Lean and our Lean Practitioner and Lean Leader training, respectively.
Lean Practitioners have a different role than Lean Leaders. Practitioners carry out smaller-sized Lean Initiatives on a constant basis and report to stakeholders about their efforts. Lean Leaders on the other hand possess a wider range of knowledge of Lean, lead projects, and train employees so they can start using the Lean methodology themselves.
