Lean Certification — Gold Level
CEG's Gold Level Lean Certification
Program consists of six days of
training and a 50-question Gold
Level Certification Exam, and
requires the selection and
implementation of a Lean Project
and a Kaizen Event Project.
Lean Fundamentals, an intensive
four-day course, gives participants
a practical, hands-on, learning-
by-doing experience applying
Lean methodologies in a simulated
environment.
Participants will be able to:
• Explain Lean principles.
• Define waste in an organization
and opportunities to eliminate
waste.
• Identify a value stream and
define improvements.
• Build basic skills in continuous
improvement and related tools.
• Review process flow and identify
flow rates and bottlenecks.
• Practice the implementation
of mistake-proofing.
• Define kaizen events.
• Develop your personal toolkit
to implement Lean in an
organization.
Kaizen Foundations, a two-day
course, provides individuals with
an awareness of the philosophy
and the kaizen approach and
tools. Effectively applying
kaizen philosophy and tools can
significantly improve value-added
productivity and reduce waste
and associated costs. Throughout
this course, participants will have
the opportunity to apply concepts
and techniques in a practical,
hands-on, learning-by-doing
experience in a simulated
environment.
Participants will be able to:
• Gain an understanding of
kaizen philosophy and the
importance of creating a con-
tinuous improvement culture.
• Describe kaizen goals and
guiding principles.
• Learn a kaizen problem-solving
approach and ways to employ
it at your organization.
• Develop a kaizen toolkit.
*The Gold Level Certification Exam
is administered within 5 business
days of completion of the program.
The exam consists of 50 questions
and is open-book. A passing score
