Lean Certifications

 
ELSE Inc. empowers enterprise to a stronger future, through training people to successfully compete in a global marketplace.

We at ELSE inc. believe there is value in knowing that your people have been more than just trained. You actually need to find out if they learned something. To that end we at ELSE inc. have designed our Lean Certification Program.

Instead of broad basing our certification we instead focus on specific practical certification levels, since the vast majority of your staff are neither engineers, nor production managers. We have set up the certification levels to align with what we have learned is the normal successful Lean approach.

Each of our certification levels requires trainees to have obtained certain types of knowledge. To test their understanding of the required learning they must pass a multiple choice test. Additionally they must submit a report on a workplace project they have done, including detailing how they applied various tools they were taught. Their report must be accompanied by a letter from a supervisor which states how, in the supervisor’s opinion, the training and project has developed the trainee(s), and the company.
