The Ohio State University is offering a program unlike any other. It is called the Lean Leader Certification Program (LLCP). It’s designed for middle and top-level executives at any company who seek the essential knowledge necessary to drive Lean throughout their entire organization.

This highly interactive and fully accredited program teaches a carefully sequenced arrangement of Lean concepts and tools.

Over four non-consecutive weeks, each participant will experience a series of learning modules focusing on the four key phases of Lean implementation: Plan, Pilot, Deploy and Integrate. In between the weeks of training, students need to apply the methods that they have learned in operations at their own companies and present their results to the class.

Program participants will:

Lead an organizational Lean implementation
Create a detailed deployment plan based on baseline analysis
Perform as a principal change agent
Lead site teams to deploy plant-wide Lean methodologies
Mentor project leaders, area managers and supervisors
