Complete Lean Six Sigma Training Online through the Management and Strategy Institute.

This program, entitled Six Sigma Lean Professional (SSLP)™, was developed exclusively for the Management and Strategy Institute.  It is designed to give the student a solid understanding of both Lean and Six Sigma principles and will teach you how to effectively work with Lean principals in a manufacturing environment.

Lean is generally referred to as a manufacturing or production improvement methodology.  As a term in business, it has a broad-based customer focus that concentrates on providing more to the customer.

It does this by supplying the product that is just what the customer needs - when needed - in just the right amounts and for the right price.  It uses the minimum materials, equipment, workspace, labor resources, and time needed.  The whole concept of Lean is focused on the removal of any unnecessary waste from the production process.  It focuses on producing a high quality output.

Projects working in a lean manufacturing environment don't generally have a "belt" assigned to their certification, which is why this certification only includes Lean and Six Sigma in the title.  If you are looking for a specific belt level, we recommend our Lean Six Sigma Black Belt or Lean Six Sigma Green Belt.

Are There Prerequisites?
No, the Six Sigma Lean Professional training course includes all of the course work required to learn the system.

Is the Lean Certification Test Difficult?
Six Sigma Lean Professionals must function at a high level within an organization.  It is important for Lean Professionals to have a solid understanding of the related principles so that they can properly analyze waste components and create a value stream.  This test is open book, however it is also timed, so you will not have much time to look up answers to questions.  It is very important that you study and understand the material prior to taking the test or you will not pass.

How in-depth is the training?
The Six Sigma Lean Professional is a mid-level certification.  It is not designed to make you an expert on all facets of Six Sigma or the Lean manufacturing process.  This professional development course was designed to teach someone with little knowledge of Lean Manufacturing principals the basic skills needed to function as a Lean professional within your organization.  Many executive jobs today require that their employees have at least a basic understanding of Lean Six Sigma.  For an example, click on this job search link to see how many positions mention the words "Lean Six Sigma".

How long is the training course?
The training course is self-paced. Time to complete and fully comprehend will vary with every individual. It may take several days or weeks of study before you feel comfortable to take the final test. You may take the final exam as soon as you're ready. You have 1 year from the date of purchase to complete the course.

Is the test proctored?
No, the test for the Six Sigma Lean Professional course is not proctored.  It is timed, with a limit of 2 hours.  You may take the test online, from home or work whenever you are ready.

Professional Competency Units (PCU):
Participants who successfully complete this certification program will receive 20 Professional Competency Units (PCUs) from MSI.

What will I receive after I pass my test?
You will be mailed a Certificate Of Completion, as well as a letter of congratulations and two copies of our training verification letters which you can give to employers who request it. The certificate is heavy-stock, cream paper suitable for framing. [View Example]

Is there an additional study guide I can order?
Yes, MSI offers digital books which can be purchased or rented at a significantly discounted rate.  These books are perfect for learning additional Six Sigma concepts:
  - Six Sigma and Beyond
  - Six Sigma Fundamentals

Who is the certifying body?

Reviews:
"Our production plant is going through a Lean and 5S process improvement and the company sent 9 employees in my department through the Lean certification with MSI.  We were able to complete the program quickly while still gaining the skills we needed to help with the project." - Mark F.

"I've taken the Lean certification and the Black Belt certification with MSI and have been very happy with both.  I had an internal company interview for a management position recently and the interviewer was very impressed that I was self-motivated to get certified on my own.  Six Sigma is very important to my company so I think this gives me an edge." - Greg S.

"I've already found processes that I can improve for my company.  We are trying to streamline many of the manufacturing processes here and this certification has been a big help." - Mary Z.
