Lean Certification
is an operational excellence strategy, a way of thinking and a toolset

Lean principles are designed to eliminate waste in every value-added operation with a clear focus on your customer’s needs. Lower your cost of doing business by reducing waste and defects in your processes.

Top organisations use Lean to drive competitive advantage and operational excellence.

Build this capability in your organisation through our leading-edge programmes that have delivered results. Our programme is designed to ensure practical application and includes real-world scenarios, data sets, simulations and interactive learning exercises.

If you are an individual looking to boost your own career with this certification, we can support you with eLearning and (optional) coaching sessions. You will benefit from the same programmes and study at your own pace. TLC’s exclusive eLearning Portal, The Leadership Centre offers the course as a comprehensive online learning programme.
