Lean Green Belt Certification Program

Meeting Lean is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste or non-value-added activities in a process through continuous improvement with the goal of creating maximum value

Lean thinking has existed for over 40 years within major multinational operations worldwide. It started in the 1960s in Japan with the development of the Toyota Production System (TPS), and was quickly established as a method for highly effective production of automobiles and related engineered components.

Lean has subsequently spread to pharmaceutical, aerospace, medical parts, electronics, and a host of related industries. It is now an established fundamental approach for world-class manufacture, distribution, and service sectors.

The Lean Green Belt Certification program has been designed by the Leading Edge Group in association with Lean experts and the Irish Institure of Industrial Engineers. Our Lean program provides an understanding of the theory and also the efficient application of Lean tools, practices, and concepts.
