Overview:
This course is designed to prepare the black belt or “master practitioner” for implementing lean across the enterprise. It will lay the groundwork for building a lean enterprise transformation by portraying the entire spectrum of a lean transformation from traditional processes to a lean product delivery system. By the end of this course, participants will be able to answer these questions:
1. How do the steps of the lean enterprise fit together?
2. How does a lean "black belt" provide direction and vision toward a corporate lean effort?
3. How does a lean "black belt" apply the principles of lean across the enterprise?
This is an eight-day equivalent program. Participants are required to submit a project for evaluation after completing the training program. Participants who successfully complete a project and pass the black belt examination will receive IISE’s Lean Black Belt.
