AME Lean Training Classes
and Seminars
This Lean
Certification event registration is a two step process - one registration
for the Review Class and a separate process to register to take the Exam.
The Review Class will explore what the certification is about, what the exam
will encompass, and additional necessary steps to complete the Certification.
Individuals on a Lean Journey are encouraged to attend. They
will have the opportunity to share their approach to deploying Lean concepts
with 10 to 25 other Lean practitioners/professionals on a similar Lean
Journey. The collaborative, group format allows Lean practitioners
to share ideas and solidify their knowledge about foundational Lean concepts.
This is an excellent opportunity to enhance your career even if you
decide not to sit for the exam.
Some
participants wait to take the exam at a later date.
Although individuals can
take the exam at a later date, some of the people who have had a couple of
years experience deploying Lean concepts who attend the Review Class take the
Exam at the end of the event. After registering for the Review Class, if
you are interested in taking the Exam, go back to the same web page link above
and in the middle of this same page “To apply and take the exam is separate from the
Review Class, please register for the Exam on the SME website”
On
the SME website there is more information about the Lean Certification
Program. The below are the 4 books that are recommended for this Lean
Certification Review Class. These books are familiar to many interested
in Lean Concepts/Tools and a review of the materials is recommended before attending
