The MRC Lean Master Certification curriculum was created to assist companies with the challenge of implementing and maintaining improvements in Lean Manufacturing processes. This proven methodology includes a series of training modules designed to provide targeted technical competencies in Lean Manufacturing tools and techniques.
Course locations vary. Problem Solving, Lean Daily Management Systems, TPM and Set-up Reduction will be hosted onsite at a local manufacturer. All other courses will be conducted in combination with e-Learning and at the MRC corporate office where our new Lean Enterprise Works (LEW) factory simulation resides. LEW is a real-world mock up of a controlled manufacturing facility for hands-on application of the principles you will learn in an actual shop floor setting.
Even in a job shop, LEAN manufacturing will simplify your processes. The overall goal is to minimize the eight wastes described by the acronym DOWNTIME.
