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.

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. |
