What do you learn during the Lean Black Belt?
The Black Belt training takes approximately 70 hours and deepens your knowledge of Lean to the highest level. Throughout the training, you will work on your own business case or assignment, proving that you can effectively put the theory into practice.
The business case or assignment
When it comes to the business case or assignment, there is no right or wrong. You simply apply the Lean principles to a situation from your own workspace, whether large or small. You will navigate the steps of an A3 charter, from the initial improvement idea right through to standardisation, demonstrating how you can put the material into practice. The corresponding template and step-by-step guide are provided during the training, ensuring you don’t have to start from scratch.
Are you currently between jobs, or do you not have a suitable project at hand? No problem at all. Give us a call, send a WhatsApp, or email us, and together we will find a business case from our repository that suits you perfectly.
