“Having recently completed the Lean SCM Certification program I can only compliment the entire program. The material was clear, relatively concise given its complexity, and very well presented. The interspersal of graphs, pictures, tables and the like made it much easier to assimilate than other distance learning programs, and indeed "Lean" course I have undertaken. The intermittent review questions and modular nature of the program made it easier to assimilate the information and check that it had indeed sunk in.

As a remote user who is in full time employment and has a full time family, the fact that I could log in and study from home at any time I chose was particularly important. Since I started the program I have implemented the Lean principles in my business unit and achieved astonishing results. A process which used to take two whole teams has been reduced from 23 lapsed days each month to 8, and the accuracy rate in this very complex process has more than doubled. Now that I have "proven the concept", the rest of my business is clamouring for my time to "lean" their resource hungry processes. Suddenly, I am Mr Popular!”

“I have found the Certification in Lean Supply Chain Management extremely beneficial. The principles of each module are clearly identified. The reviews, summaries, exams and assignments ensure that you have grasped and understood the philosophy and tools of Lean thinking and know when to implement them. All in all a very worthwhile education.”

“Pfizer found that our association with Leading Edge was a positive contributor towards improved plant performance and would be quite happy to work with them again if that situation should arise.”

“Initially two of us decided to do the Lean Green Belt Certification programme just to update our knowledge and get a shared understanding of a single "flavour" of Lean. The real surprise came when we carried out some trial value stream mapping exercises on our own processes and we became aware of the scale of improvement potential, particularly in relation to our business processes. Lean is a lot more than just a knowledge update at this stage.”
