Lean Enterprise Certification Program (LECP) Begins in January

The Dakota Manufacturing Extension Partnership, Inc. will once again be having Lean Enterprise Certification Programs throughout the Dakotas. There will be three classes offered. The first class, beginning January 12, 2010, will be held in Fargo, ND. The next class begins January 14, 2010 right here in Dickinson, ND. The third class will be held in Brookings, SD and will begin January 19, 2010. Each class will consist of approximately 8 sessions to be held over the course of 3-4 months.

These sessions are designed to help your company build lean capacity by giving your staff and leaders the knowledge needed (from classroom training and hands-on activities) to analyze, identify and implement continuous improvement in your company.

This program is the only nationally recognized Lean Certification, with standards developed and judged by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), Association of Manufacturing Excellence (AME), and the Shingo Prize.
