BMGI's Lean for Manufacturing is designed to help Six Sigma practitioners and others learn the principles of Lean Six Sigma and how to integrate them with Six Sigma to accelerate organizational change. This four-day course combines lectures with model exercises to give participants the chance to experience how processes interact, and how Lean principles can affect an environment.

In the classroom, participants set up their own "factories," then use simulation to produce ideal conditions that allow them to meet customer expectations for lead time, on-time delivery, and profitability. Each Lean principle is covered in detail, using real life examples and case studies from successful Lean implementations.

• How to improve customer response time and profitability while balancing issues of product quality and cost.
• How to Lean any factory setting.
